Two Genes Predict Voter Turnout (2008, unknown): “…of this social dilemma, millions of people do vote, suggesting that something other than self-interest or optimizing behavior drives their decision (Bendor, Diermeier, and Ting 2003; Edlin, Gelman, and Kaplan 2007; Fedderson and Sandroni 2006; Fowler 2006a, 2006b; Fowler and Kam 2007; Jankowski…”
Voting as a Rational Choice (2007, unknown): “Bendor, Diermeier, and Ting (2003) and Fowler (2005b) also present feedback models for voter turnout but they differ from ours in relying on “satisficing” rather than utility maximization.”
Habitual Voting and Behavioral Turnout (2006, background): “Bendor, Diermeier, and Ting (2003) do not explain why they choose the Bush-Mosteller reinforcement rule shown in (1) and (2) instead of some alternative.”
The Formation of Voting Habits (2012, background): “Previous research suggests that people who voted for the winning candidate in a given election are more likely to appear in the polls in the coming election (Bendor et al., 2003; Fowler, 2006).”

(2003) model the behavior of voters who guide their turnout with rules of thumb over past turnout decisions and election outcomes. Their model predicts substantial equilibrium turnout, even in large electorates, thus providing a potentia”

Overconfidence in Political Behavior (2015, unknown): “First and foremost, the (6)This literature is small, and includes Matsusaka (1995); Bendor et al. (2003, 2011); Callander and Wilson (2006, 2008); Bisin et al. (2011); Degan and Merlo (2011); and Lizzeri and Yariv (2012).”
