Reviews

...a thought-provoking argument that comprehensively surveys the theory and literature regarding the degree to which voters look to the past and future in making their decisions ... Lockerbie's work takes up a neglected subject and shows why it deserves more attention. - American Review of Politics ...[Lockerbie's] volume adds to the mounting evidence that voters base their decisions more on concern about the future than on their reaction to what has already passed. - Political Science Quarterly This book deals with a very important subject within the economic voting literature: the significance of retrospective versus prospective judgments. It helps overcome the wrongful neglect of the prospective school. - Michael S. Lewis-Beck, coauthor of Economics and Elections: The Major Western Democracies
