Abstract:

In this study, we propose an alternative approach to the electoral regionalism in Korea by focusing on spatial correlation among neighbors. We hypothesize that people in residence of fellow region have mutual influences in voting behavior and redefine the electoral region in Korea based on this spatial relationship. To measure regionalism in the sense of interdependence and contagion among neighbors, we employ spatial econometrics and apply this method to the 1997 and 2002 Korean presidential elections. The empirical findings of our analysis provide strong evidence for the existence of the neighborhood effect in the two Korean presidential elections and in general support the conventional knowledge with respect to Korean regionalism. We argue that spatial dependence and contagion is a good alternative measure of Korean electoral regionalism, as the two conventional measures (i.e. mean and standard deviation) cannot estimate the dynamics of spatial interdependence.
