Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

Homevoters, Homeowner Candidates and Spatial Voting Patterns 1: University of Turku / Labour Institute for Economic Research LABORE, Finland; 2: University of Turku; 3: Aalto University This study examines geographic preferences in voting and the spatial inequalities in representation in municipal elections in Finland, focusing on the role of homeowners. We show that the homeownership rate in a polling district is associated with higher turnout, more votes given to local candidates, and better representation. For candidates we find a vote distance-gradient (more votes from close to home) that is steeper for homeowner candidates. Finally, our difference-in-difference results suggest that when an individual moves to a new district inside the same municipality, it negatively impacts the share of their own votes that come from their old home district. This effect is also more pronounced when individuals move away from districts with a high homeownership rate compared to those moving from areas with low homeowner share, also consistent with homeowners favoring candidates who live in the same area.
