Abstract

Are politicians more responsive to foreign citizens if they have the right to vote? To examine this question, we exploit regional variation in voting rights for foreign citizens in Switzerland. Our original audit experiments find no evidence that local politicians are more responsive to foreign citizens depending on whether foreign citizens have the right to vote. Another survey suggests that local politicians are not strongly motivated by reelection. Although our findings are preliminary, given the small sample size, they may indicate that responsiveness at the local level may differ from the national level.

地方政客对移民的反应不因投票权而系统性变化
摘要如果外国公民有投票权,政治家会对他们更有反应吗?为了研究这个问题,我们利用了瑞士外国公民投票权的地区差异。我们最初的审计实验没有发现证据表明,当地政客对外国公民的反应更积极,这取决于外国公民是否有投票权。另一项调查显示,地方政客对连任的动机并不强烈。虽然我们的调查结果是初步的,但鉴于样本量小,它们可能表明地方一级的反应能力可能与国家一级不同。
