Edie N. Goldenberg and Michael W. Traugott, 'Normal Vote Analysis of US Congressional Elections', Legislative Studies Quarterly, 6: 2, May 1981, pp. 247 257. A district-level analysis of the effects of the campaign on deviations from the normal or expected vote in the 1978 elections for the US House of Representatives. The findings show that incumbency has the greatest effect upon candidate recognition. John R. Hibbing and John R. Alford, 'The Electoral Impact of Economic Conditions: Who is Held Responsible?', American Journal of Political Science, 25: 3, August 1981, pp. 423-439. Whilst controlling for district incumbency, the authors find a relationship between retrospective personal financial conditions and w)te-choice that mirrors the aggregate relationship between retrospective performance of the national economy and congressional vote totals. Douglas A. Hibbs, Jnr and Henrik Jess Madsen, 'The Impact of Economic Performance on Electoral Support in Sweden, 1967 1978', Scandinavian PoliticaiStudies, 4: 1,1981, pp. 33-50. The article analyses the impact of macro-economic conditions on aggregate political support for governing parties in Sweden from 1967 to 1978. Douglas A. Hibbs, Jnr (assisted by Nicholas Vasilatos), 'Economics and Politics in France: Economic Performance and Mass Political Support for Presidents Pompidou and Giscard D'Estaing', European Journal of Political Research, 9: 2, June 1981, pp. 133 145. The results of this analysis indicate that a President's standing with the mass public depends primarily upon the performance of the real economy (in particular its real income) rather than the inflation rate. Jill Hills, 'Candidates. The Impact of Gender', Parliamentary Affairs, X X X I V : 2, Spring 1981, pp. 221 228. Gender is found to have only a marginal impact upon electoral outcomes. Melvin J. Hinich and Walker Pollard, 'A New Approach to the Spatial Theory of Electoral Competition', American Journal of Political Science, 25: 2, May 1981, pp. 323-341. This paper reformulates spatial voting theory in terms of a model that connects what the authors call 'predictive dimensions' with political issues that are salient during a given election campaign. Martin Holland, 'The Selection of Parliamentary Candidates: Contemporary Developments and the Impact of the European Elections', Parliamentary Affairs, 34: 1, Winter 1980, pp. 28--46. The article focuses on new approaches to and procedures of candidate selection, the differences between national and European candidate selection and the implications of these changes for the centralization of choice and the extension of participation. R. E. M. Irving and W. E. Paterson, 'The West German Election of t980: Continuity Preferred to Change', Parliamentary Affairs, 34: 2, Spring 1981, pp. 191 209. The article examines political trends in the Federal Republic in connection with the 1980 election. R. J. Johnston, 'Testing the Butler-Stokes Model of a Polarisation Effect around the National Swing in Partisan Preferences: England, 1979', BritishJournalofPoliticalScience, 11: 1, January 1981, pp. 113--117. This article uses aggregate data at three spatial scales for the 1979 general election in England in order to evaluate Butler and Stokes' ecological model which partly explains 'swing' as dependent upon cues from the local environment.
