• Two Genes Predict Voter Turnout (2008, unknown): “A growing literature suggests that voter turnout is a prosocial behavior that is strongly influenced by other-regarding preferences (Edlin, Gelman, and Kaplan 2007; Fowler 2006a; Fowler and Kam 2007; Jankowski 2002, 2007).”
• Moral Bias in Large Elections: Theory and Experimental Evidence (2009, unknown): “Jankowski (2002), Fowler (2006), Tyran and Sausgruber (2006), and Edlin, Gelman, and Kaplan (2007) all incorporate social preferences into models of instrumental voting.”
• Learning Together Slowly: Bayesian Learning about Political Facts (2017, unknown): “Perhaps for this reason, many citizens make the costly effort to turn out to vote (even in large elections, e.g., Edlin, Gelman, and Kaplan 2007; Feddersen and Sandroni 2006), and many make the effort to consume political news.”
