Replication data for: Economic Expectations, Voting, and Economic Decisions around Elections

Survey respondents who associate themselves with the "winning team" in an election, substantially increase their expectations for their stock market, but only modestly increase their expected household economic well-being. The impact of the election outcome on the "losing team" is comparatively muted. Yet, the dramatic shifts in survey responses from "winning team" respondents do not manifest themselves in their actual behavior as revealed by their online search behavior, in contrast to members of the "losing team," whose decline in durable goods purchases correlate with their stated economic expectations. Combining novel survey data and search, this study provides a uniquely meaningful comparison of stated attitudes with actual behaviors.

将自身归属于选举中“获胜阵营”的受访群体，对本国股票市场的预期显著上调，但对家庭经济福祉的预期仅小幅提升。选举结果对“失利阵营”受访者的影响则相对温和。然而，“获胜阵营”受访者在调研中展现出的态度剧变，并未通过其在线搜索行为所揭示的实际行动体现出来；与之形成对照的是，“失利阵营”成员的耐用品购买量下滑与其自述的经济预期存在相关性。本研究结合新颖的调研数据与搜索行为数据，为自述态度与实际行为的对比分析提供了独具价值的研究视角。
