1. County-level analysis of the 1992 presidential election.
For the county analysis, I used data from the County and City Data Book (Census Bureau, 1994), which I downloaded from the University of Virginia’s Website[1], adding several other independent variables for a multiple regression analysis: population, population density, median household income, percentage of households female-headed, poverty rate, percentage of population Black, and percentage of the population ages 5 to 17 (as an indicator of age-structure). I created a dummy variable South for counties in those states. Population, population density, and income were logarithmically transformed to reduce heteroskedasticity. Results of the analysis are in Table A-1.
