Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary
We use electoral survey data linked to highly disaggregated geographical data to examine the impact that two large external shocks had on the initial development and long-term success of New Zealand First (NZF), one of the oldest populist parties in the OECD, as well as their short and long-run impact on voting and political opinions. We find that people exposed to both structural and immigration reforms were more likely to initially vote for NZF and permanently changed their political attitudes and policy preferences. Exposure to these shocks plays an important role in explaining the rise and continued success of political populism in NZ.
