Descripción
Sumario:In this article we test the theory of proximity voting in the most recent presidential elections of three Central American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador and Honduras. For this purpose, we specified Mixed Mutinomial Probit models and found that ideological proximity had a relevant effect on voters’ choices. Moreover, the ideological distance between those citizens and the candidates affected the latter differently, depending on the partisan context in which they were competing.
