Download or read book Political Information Acquisition for Social Exchange written by Gani Aldashev and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We model political information acquisition in large elections, where the probability of being pivotal is negligible. Our model builds on the assumption that informed citizens enjoy discussing politics with other informed citizens. The resulting information acquisition game exhibits strategic complementarities. We find that information acquisition depends negatively on the social distance between citizens. Next, we build an application of the model to the distributive politics game. Equilibrium policies are biased towards regions/groups with lower social distance between citizens. Finally, we present evidence for the basic model's main prediction based on the data from the 2000 U.S. National Elections Study. Citizens with a shorter residence span (thus having a less developed local social network, i.e. facing a larger social distance) acquire significantly less political information than the otherwise similar long-term residents.

Parallel sessions from other FRIBIS teams and members as well as external researchers and advocates from multiple disciplines and fields of expertise completed the program. A selection of the contributions is available in this volume. FRIBIS is a competence network at the University of Freiburg. Led by Prof. Dr. Bernhard Neumärker it conducts interdisciplinary research on Basic Income. The board of directors is drawn from the departments of Economic Policy and Order Theory (Götz Werner Professorship), Psychology, Caritas Science (Faculty of Theology), Ethnology, Computer Science and Educational Science.

Download or read book The Role of Social Exchange Relationships in Facilitating Individual Innovative Performance written by Luke Brooks-Shesler and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As organizations turn to innovation as a way to cope with global competition and economic uncertainty, understanding how to measure and predict individual innovative performance at work has become more important. Current measures of individual innovative performance tend to confound related, but distinct aspects of individual innovative performance, leading to inconsistent or ambiguous findings. This research aims to advance our understanding of individual innovative performance in the following ways. First, individual factors (e.g., task domain expertise, openness to experience, and political skill) were investigated in order to determine whether these factors differentially predict how an employee is innovative based on the nine dimensions of individual innovative performance identified by Brooks-Shesler and Tetrick (2010): problem identification, idea generation, idea solicitation, idea evaluation, experimentation, idea promotion, innovation promotion, innovation adoption, and resource acquisition. Second, the role of social exchange relationships in promoting individual innovative performance was investigated. Participants in this study were 860 individuals who worked 30 or more hours per week and who were located in the United States and India. Findings suggest that individual factors were more important than the quality of the social exchange relationship in promoting individual innovative performance. Political skill was positively related to all aspects of individual innovative performance, while openness to experience and expertise were positively related to at least three aspects of individual innovative performance. In contrast, the quality of the social exchange relationship was positively related only to idea solicitation. Furthermore, the quality of the social exchange relationship was negatively related to resource acquisition and unrelated to the other aspects of individual innovative performance. Implications of these findings and paths for future research are discussed.

Subsequently, Part II investigates the various channels used by interest groups to influence policymakers, such as party donations, informational lobbying, hiring politicians, etc. These chapters also discuss the possibilities and limits of regulating the respective channels.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Electoral Persuasion written by Elizabeth Suhay and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 912 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elections are the means by which democratic nations determine their leaders, and communication in the context of elections has the potential to shape people's beliefs, attitudes, and actions. Thus, electoral persuasion is one of the most important political processes in any nation that regularly holds elections. Moreover, electoral persuasion encompasses not only what happens in an election but also what happens before and after, involving candidates, parties, interest groups, the media, and the voters themselves. This volume surveys the vast political science literature on this subject, emphasizing contemporary research and topics and encouraging cross-fertilization among research strands. A global roster of authors provides a broad examination of electoral persuasion, with international perspectives complementing deep coverage of U.S. politics. Major areas of coverage include: general models of political persuasion; persuasion by parties, candidates, and outside groups; media influence; interpersonal influence; electoral persuasion across contexts; and empirical methodologies for understanding electoral persuasion.
