What is Timing of Voting Decisions in Campaigns about?

Voting analysts distinguish between long-term forces like party identification and short-term forces like campaign events that influence voting decisions. The authors posit that voters vary in how much long-term versus short-term forces impact their decisions. Voting models should perform better for those more influenced by measurable long-term forces and worse for those swayed by numerous hard-to-measure short-term forces. The authors use a heteroskedastic probit model accounting for unequal error variance
