Outline of Final Research Achievements

Using the data from the 2013 Upper House election and the 2014 Lower House election in Japan, we examined the impact of the Internet campaigning liberalization on candidates and voters. The results indicated that the Internet campaigning liberalization, contrary to the common belief, had significant effect on voters' decision for whom to vote. On the other hand, we found no effect of the Internet campaigning liberalization on the uses of the Internet by candidates. The analysis focusing on district-level is further required to link these results with the exploration of determinants of "normalization versus equalization".
