Title: Ecological Inference with Covariates
Authors: Won-ho Park
Entrydate: 2008-07-08 07:44:43
Keywords: ecological inference, Thomsen, voter transition,
South Korean, democratization
Abstract: The building block of ecological inference
strategies is to construct a two-by-two table that describes the
individual-level relationship from aggregate information.
Extensions to this baseline model, whichever particular
technique is employed, have been developed in the context of
constructing bivariate R-by-C tables. However, another important
and substantively interesting extension is a model that would let
the researcher include additional covariates into the model and
is yet to be fully discussed and developed. In the paper, I
propose a method of moment estimator that incorporates
covariates into the ecological inference process by extending
Thomsen (1987)'s voter transition model. I apply the developed
model to estimate the impact of demographic variables on turnout
in South Korean voters over time, especially around
democratization, using precinct-level electoral returns and
census records.
