The Performance of the Pivotal-Voter Model in Small-Scale Elections: Evidence from Texas Liquor Referenda [PDF]
How well does the pivotal-voter model explain voter participation in small-scale elections? This paper explores this question using data from Texas liquor referenda.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Accessing brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be challenging, especially for underserved patients, which may lead to disparities in neurological diagnosis. Method This mixed‐methods study enrolled adults with one of four neurological disorders: mild cognitive impairment or dementia of the Alzheimer type, multiple sclerosis ...

Renormalization of the Voter Model in Equilibrium
The Annals of Probability, 2001 A \(d\)-dimensional voter model, \(d\geq 3\), is considered. The large scale limit of the equilibrium state is studied with the help of the historical process. Some surprising facts about the Green function of random walks in dimension \(d\geq 4\) are established, which lead to the different features in \(d=3\) versus \(d\geq 4\).

An empirical application of the median voter model and of the interest group influence model to the Portuguese and Galician municipalities [PDF]
The analysis of the median voter hypothesis indicates that a more realistic comprehension of local public choice might be achieved with the opening of the median voter model to the interst group influence hypothesis.

FDG‐PET Associations With Disease Severity and Outcomes in NMDA‐Receptor IgG Autoimmune Encephalitis
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Patients with N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor‐immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoimmune encephalitis (NMDAR‐IgG AE) demonstrate occipital lobe hypometabolism on baseline brain fluorodeoxyglucose‐positron emission tomography (bFDG‐PET).

Mixing of the noisy voter model
Electronic Communications in Probability, 2014 We prove that the noisy voter model mixes extremely fast -- in time of $O(\log n)$ on any graph with $n$ vertices -- for arbitrarily small values of the `noise parameter'. We then explain why, as a result, this is an example of a spin system that is always in the `high-temperature regime'.

Ergodic behaviour of “signed voter models”
Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincaré, Probabilités et Statistiques, 2013 We consider some questions raised by the recent paper of Gantert, Löwe and Steif (2005) concerning ``signed'' voter models on locally finite graphs. These are voter model like processes with the difference that the edges are considered to be either positive or negative.

Beliefs and Voting Decisions: A Test of the Pivotal Voter Model [PDF]
We report results from a laboratory experiment that provides the first direct test of the pivotal voter model. This model predicts that voters will rationally choose to vote only if their expected benefit from voting outweighs the cost.

Decentralization and electoral accountability: incentives, separation, and voter welfare [PDF]
, 2005 This paper studies the relationship between fiscal decentralization and electoral accountability, by analyzing how decentralization impacts upon incentive and selection effects, and thus on voter welfare. The model abstracts from features such as public
