Identification and Estimation of Preference Distributions When Voters Are Ideological
研究了在选民具有意识形态的情况下，如何从汇总选举数据中非参数地识别和估计选民偏好分布，并用1999年欧洲议会选举数据进行了实际估计。
This article studies the non-parametric identification and estimation of voters’ preferences when voters are ideological. We establish that voter preference distributions and other parameters of interest can be identified from aggregate electoral data. We also show that these objects can be consistently estimated and illustrate our analysis by performing an actual estimation using data from the 1999 European Parliament elections.
