A vote of confidence: retrospective voting in Africa
Author: Ellis, E.
Publication date: 2014, In: Afroboarometer, Working Paper No 147
This study asks attention for the importance of retrospective voting in Africa, through which voters offer positive reinforcement for good presidential behavior. The author argues that the African electoral fortunes denote a vote of confidence, and tests that contention by regressing vote intention against performance evaluations.
