The political economy of agricultural protection: Sweden 1887
分析了1887年瑞典两次大选中不同选民群体对自由贸易和保护主义的支持情况，发现资本所有者和工薪阶层始终支持自由贸易，而农民群体在秋季选举中转向保护主义，可能源于对政府信任的丧失。
We analyse the Swedish general elections that took place in spring and autumn 1887. Our aim is to discover which groups of voters supported free trade and which protectionism. We find that while capital owners and wage earners consistently favoured free trade, in the spring election only the largest farmers supported protectionism. By autumn, political preferences among smallholders and middling farmers had shifted in favour of protectionism too. As these groups were not specialised in the production of import-competing goods, we assume that the political landslide in the autumn elections can be attributed to a loss of trust in the government.
