TY - JOUR ID - 1463116 AU - Nemčok, Miroslav - Šedo, Jakub PY - 2018 TI - Theoretical Expectations and Actual Outcomes of Electoral Systems : How to Measure the Size of the Deviation? JF - World Political Science VL - 14 IS - 2 SP - 189-212 EP - 189-212 PB - De Gruyter SN - 23634782 KW - electoral systems KW - measurement tool KW - Seat Product Model KW - size of deviation KW - theoretical expectations UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/wps-2018-0008 L2 - https://doi.org/10.1515/wps-2018-0008 N2 - The article criticises current conceptual frameworks focused on the evaluation of the performance of electoral systems. It offers a new tool allowing researchers to measure the size of the deviation of electoral outcomes from theoretical expectations. The index d=log[Ns/(MS)1/6] is built on the Seat Product (Taagepera, Rein (2007b) Predicting Party Sizes: The Logic of Simple Electoral Systems. New York: Oxford University Press) and captures the deviations of electoral outcomes from predictions solely on the basis of two institutional factors – average district magnitude (M) and size of assembly (S). The theoretical background of index d is explained, and its reliability is further supported by conventional econometric methods based on empirical data. ER -
