Abstract

Chapter 3 draws on a field experimental audit of politicians with a near census of Indian state and national legislators to show that, on the whole, politicians do not take indicators of partisanship into account when responding to individual-level requests. Specifically, this national field experiment shows that for India’s high-level politicians, information on electoral preferences does not affect the willingness of representatives to respond to an individual’s request for assistance. In addition, indications of shared ethnicity, e.g., caste, which may be closely tied to political preferences, do not result in preferential treatment. Overall, these findings offer strong evidence that the aid high-level politicians offer to individuals requiring assistance navigating the state is often noncontingent in nature, taking the form of constituency service.
提供选民服务
第三章利用对政治家的实地实验审计,对印度邦和国家立法者进行了近乎人口普查,以表明,总的来说,政治家在回应个人层面的要求时,没有考虑到党派关系的指标。具体来说,这个全国性的实地实验表明,对于印度的高层政治家来说,关于选举偏好的信息并不影响代表对个人援助请求作出回应的意愿。此外,共同种族的迹象,例如种姓,可能与政治偏好密切相关,并不会导致优待。总的来说,这些发现提供了强有力的证据,表明高层政治家向需要帮助的个人提供的帮助通常是非偶然的,采取了选区服务的形式。
