“…It measures the persistence of the effect across multiple elections, accounts for the unbalanced distribution of housings and tests for heterogeneous effects across neighborhoods. In its empirical setup, the study contributes to a literature that uses fine-grained electoral data to measure the local reaction to political decisions such as on health care facilities (Kaba 2022, Adiguzel et al 2022.

Incumbents often make unpopular policy decisions. But can they remedy their negative electoral consequences? We extend the wide literature concerning retrospective voting to the case of unpopular policies and examine whether voters reward a responsive withdrawal of an unpopular policy proposal or punish the disclosed policy intention despite the withdrawal. To test this, we use granular data on Swedish local election results from 2002 to 2018 and the case of widely unpopular school closure proposals, some of which were implemented and others not. We exploit within municipality variation in voting over time to causally estimate the consequences for incumbents in the neighborhood surrounding the schools. Our results confirm that even if a school remains open, voters punish the incumbent and consider the initial proposal as informative for their vote. Our findings have implications for the understanding of democratic accountability and which information voters take into account when casting their vote.
