Estimating the Willingness to Pay for the Civic Value When Absentee Voting Is Not Allowed. 

Abstract：

When absentee voting is allowed, people's willingness to travel to vote is limited, and hence the time and pecuniary cost of voting exhibit relatively narrow ranges. In this paper we use the unique traveling and booklet data to analyze the sensitivity of turnout rates with respect to travel time and cost. The country we study is Taiwan where, as for many other Asian countries, only in-person voting is allowed. We first identify irregular transportation during the voting weekend relative to other regular weekends and then match such irregular traveling with the number of citizens whose registration counties are not the same as their residing counties. We employ the BLP (1995) method to generate consistent estimators
