Dear all, I am happy to inform you that today's EPW carries a piece on "Spatial variation in the 'Muslim vote' in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh, 2014", which I have co-authored with Raheel Dhattiwala:
http://www.epw.in/ejournal/show/1/_/3024 We demonstrate that Muslims' electoral choices vary a lot from constituency to constituency, implying that "vote banks" operate on a much more local level than hitherto assumed. We also explore a few factors that might shape this variation: minority concentration, riot history, and ethnic coordination. More relevant to this list: we also published interactive maps and a replication dataset under an open license, which contains booth-wise estimates of the Muslim electorate. Those of you working on religion and politics might be interested to play with it: http://www.raphael-susewind.de/blog/2014/ Let me know if you find that data useful, and/or if you have any questions about it, Best, Raphael -- Raphael Susewind | BGHS Bielefeld University, CSASP University of Oxford Snail Mail | Melanchthonstr. 4a, 33615 Bielefeld, Germany Web & Twitter | http://www.raphael-susewind.de | @RaphaelSusewind Please do consider http://www.gnupg.org for encryption (key id 10AEE42F) -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.
