“…While language, ethnicity and region are almost always included, attitudinal factors vary from model to model. Examples of variables in the multitude of vote-choice models are: sociotropic evaluations (Wilson and Birch 1999;Klobucar, Miller, and Erb 2002), egotropic evaluations (Hesli, Reisinger, and Miller 1998), aggregate-level regional characteristics (Birch 2000b), nationalist sentiment (Wilson and Birch 1999), partisanship (Klobucar, Miller, and Erb 2002), relations with Russia (Hesli, Reisinger, and Miller 1998;Klobucar, Miller, and Erb 2002), communism/democracy (Klobucar, Miller, and Erb 2002;Constant, Kahanec, and Zimmermann 2011) and preferences towards different economic systems (Constant, Kahanec, and Zimmermann 2011).…”
