Question

This type of person ends the portmanteau name of a hypothesis by William Fischel, who studied how they change upon owning a home. The assumption that optimal outcomes align with a specific one of these people underlies Alesina and Angeletos’s 2005 paper “Fairness and Redistribution.” Randall Calvert created a multidimensional model of these people, who title a study by Campbell, Converse, Miller, and Stokes that sees them as endpoints of a “causal funnel.” An early (10[1])spatial model (10[1])of these (-5[1])people (10[2]-5[1])fails in more than one dimension and assumes that they have “single-peaked” (10[1]-5[1])preferences. (10[3])These people, who (10[1])V. O. Key insisted (10[1]-5[1])“are not fools,” exist (-5[1])in spite of (10[1])Downs’s paradox. Duncan Black devised a theorem titled for the “median” type of, (10[5])for (10[2])10 points, (10[1])what people (10[1])of interest to political science, (10[1])whose total number determines the turnout rate? ■END■ (10[3])

ANSWER: voters [accept any answer indicating people engaged in voting; accept median voter theorem; accept The Homevoter Hypothesis; accept The American Voter; accept The Responsible Electorate] (Alesina and Angeletos assume that “optimal” redistributive policy “maximizes the utility of the median voter.”)
