Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, the study of voting behavior was dominated by survey research. Concerned that survey data may provide an inadequate basis for causal inference, scholars in recent years have turned to field experimentation, which relies on random assignment of voters to treatment and control groups in real-world settings. The articles in this volume attest to the measurable advances in knowledge that come through the repeated application of a powerful research design.
