Abstract

Globalization, it has been argued, (a) leads countries to adopt PR, (b) leads countries to adopt majoritarian elections, (c) encourages PR only in labor-scarce societies, or (d) has no effect on electoral system. Our empirical re-investigation supports (b) and impugns the other hypotheses. We advance a possible theoretical explanation by developing a model of politicians who can benefit by reducing losses in social welfare. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
