In this study, Eggers and Fisher examine voters’ electoral response to revelations of corruption, employing four distinct measures of corruption implications. Their results show that electoral outcomes were affected by the expenses scandal during the course of the 2010 general election; however, the intuitive predictions do not correspond to the findings directly.
