Abstract

This paper analyzes economic voting in decentralized contexts. The
existence
of several arenas of political competition allows for the appearance
of vertical electoral contamination processes, implying that voters
do not evaluate the performance of national and regional governments
independently. Using the case of Spain in the period 1982-2008, it is
demonstrated that this electoral contamination spreads from the national
arena to the regional one, and not the other way round. However,
electoral contamination tends to diminish as the process of decentralization
takes place over time.
