Largely due to the theoretical weight given to the role of economic crisis, the existing literature on presidential approval in Peru offers a variety of competing explanations about the factors that account for presidential support. These competing explanations share one bond: they emphasize the absence of traditional economic voting. We argue here that the diversity of interpretations and empirical findings stem from the high degree of volatility experienced by economic indicators, and the failure of existing research to account for the time-dependent variance of presidential popularity. We analyze the impact of eco-nomic performance and key political events on the determination of presidential approval in Peru for the period 1985-2008 using an Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (EGARCH) model. Our findings suggest that the effects of economic conditions on presidential approval ap-proximate more traditional economic voting postures than previously thought. To the extent that crisis-ridden economic conditions in Peru have helped to theorize the alleged departures from traditional economic voting, the country is an ideal case to revisit standing propositions in the literature, particularly in a moment when those crisis-ridden economic conditions have disappeared.... view less

Debido fundamentalmente al peso teórico asignado al papel de la crisis económica, la literatura existente sobre la aprobación presidencial en el Perú ofrece una distinta variedad de explicaciones sobre los diversos factores que afectan el apoyo presidencial. Estas distintas explicaciones comparten una cosa en común: enfatizan la ausencia de un voto económico tradicional. Nosotros sostenemos aquí que la diversidad de interpretaciones y de hallazgos empíricos surge del alto grado de volatilidad de los indicadores económicos y de la falla de las investigaciones actuales en considerar la varianza temporal de la popularidad presidencial. Analizamos el impacto del desempeño económico y eventos políticos significativos en la determinación de la popularidad presidencial en el Perú para el período 1985-2008 usando un modelo de heteroscedasticidad condicional autorregresivo generalizado exponencial (EGARCH). Nuestros hallazgos sugieren que los efectos de las condiciones económicas en la popularidad presidencial se aproximan más a las posturas del voto económico tradicional de lo que se creía previamente. En la medida que las condiciones de crisis en el Perú ayudaron a la teorización de las alegadas desviaciones del voto económico tradicional, este país es un caso ideal para revisitar las proposiciones existentes en la literatura, particularmente en un momento cuando esas condiciones de crisis han des-aparecido.... view less
