"The New Economic Voter” Shambaugh conference brings together scholars to discuss the current standing of theory and findings in the field of economic voting. The immediate stimulus for the gathering is the new work Professor Lewis-Beck and various co-authors have been carrying out on economic voting in the United States and comparatively. This work, which takes economic voting analysis in new directions, has begun to appear in the journals. These efforts provide a launch for a broader debate. While the notion of economic voting has been around for some time, the old paradigm is being strained by fresh ways of thinking about economics and elections. The prevailing valence idea of economic voting is incomplete, in multiple ways. Scholars from various economic voting perspectives, old or new but always fresh, have been invited to attend as conference participants. The participants will make formal presentations; and these papers will form the basis of an edited collection.
