| dc.description.abstract | Swedish survey-evidence indicates that variables reflecting self-interest are important in
explaining people’s preferred speed limits, and that political preferences adapt to
technological development. Drivers of cars that are newer (and hence safer), bigger, and with
better high-speed characteristics, prefer higher speed limits, as do those who believe they
drive better than average, whereas elderly people prefer lower limits. Furthermore, people
report that they themselves vote more sociotropically than they believe others to vote, on
average. Self-serving biases are proposed as a bridge between subjectively perceived
expressive and sociotropic voting behavior, versus objectively self-interested voting behavior. | swe |
