ESPINOZA BIANCHINI, Gonzalo  e  NAVIA, Patricio. The Effect of Economic Perceptions on Non-Conventional Political Participation in Chile in 2015. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2018, n.52, pp.57-81. ISSN 0121-5167.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.espo.n52a04.

In analyzing the determinants of conventional political participation, this article highlights the effect of the economic vote and assesses its effect on non-conventional political participation. Using the UNDP-Human Development 2015 poll in Chile, the study assesses the effect of the economic vote —in its sociotropic, egotropic, retrospective and prospective dimensions— on non-conventional participation. The article uses factor analysis as a methodological mechanism to group non-conventional participation into three types, individual, collective, and online. Using OLS and logistic regressions, the article reports that non-conventional participation increases with better retrospective egotropic perception, decreases with better socio-tropic retrospective perception and is not affected by ego and socio-tropic prospective perceptions. In conclusion, retrospective perceptions explain non-conventional participation, positively in the case of egotropic perceptions and negatively in case of socio-tropic perceptions. When people believe they have fared well, they participate more, but when they believe the country has fared well, they participate less.
