16. Falling from Grace: Corruption, Revolution and the 2016 Macedonian Elections
Master-uppsats, Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för kultur och samhälle (KS)Sammanfattning : To what extent are social movements capable of steering voters’ choices in corruptsocieties? Through the exploration of North Macedonia’s 2016 Colourful Revolution street protests, this study introduces an original dataset of 1,066 survey responses from members of the Macedonian electorate and engages in a 65-week-long cumulative tracking of corruption-related news stories in an attempt to shed light upon the effects of anti-corruption movements (ACMs) on the electoral punishment of corrupt incumbents. Building upon the framework of sociotropic corruption voting and highlighting the role of the media as an important awareness-raiser, this study finds strong proofs of corruption acting as a deterrent against the re-election of corrupt incumbents, helping to explain a governing party’s loss of support at the polls.

18. Group size and label framing: Experimental evidence on cooperative behaviour
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Graduate SchoolSammanfattning : Cooperation is a fundamental element of human society and essential to tackle the global challenges we face. This thesis addressed two questions: (1) does cooperation decline with increasing group size and (2) is cooperation higher when a community label is applied as opposed to a neutral label? I also conducted two explorative analyses of (1) individual-specific determinants of cooperation and (2) motives for cooperating or defecting. LÄS MER
19. You Say You Want a Revolution - A Model on the Implications of Prospect Theory on Voting Behaviour
D-uppsats, Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomiSammanfattning : In this thesis we create a voting model with a prospect theory foundation, introducing reference-dependent risk preferences, loss aversion, and probability weighting in the individual utility function. Classical voting models represent perfectly rational voters, we argue that voter behaviour can be better modelled by introducing prospect theory preferences, especially recent political trends.

20. Att söka politisk information : En användarstudie av studenters informationsbeteende innan Brexit-omröstningen.
Master-uppsats, Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för bibliotek, information, pedagogik och ITSammanfattning : The outcome of the Brexit referendum sparked a discussion in the media about ill-informed voters.
