Summary:
In an experiment designed to test for expressive voting, Tyran (JPubEc 2004) found a strong
positive correlation between the participants’ approval for a proposal to donate money for
charity and their expected approval rate for fellow voters. This phenomenon can be due to
bandwagon voting or a false consensus effect. The social science literature reports both effects
for voting decisions. Replicating Tyran’s experiment and adding new treatments, we
provide evidence for a false consensus effect but find no support for bandwagon voting.
