How can we best measure citizens’ degree of political power?
How do gaps in voice (Coffe and Bolzendahl 2011; Kasara and Suryanarayan 2015) relate to systemic responsiveness (Gaikwad and Nellis 2018)? and ultimately unequal outcomes?
Assess linkages between 3 different dimensions of political inequality:
- input: inequality in intensity of participation
- throughput: inequality in the system’s responsiveness to demands
- output: inequality in how much decisions favor specific individuals / groups
