Abstract:

A broad literature in the field of political science is dedicated to clarifying the link between economic variables and public opinion on the current government. In this study, we undertake a microanalysis using individual-level data to evaluate the relationship between economic perceptions and government approval in Chile. The case of Chile is particularly interesting because the country has undergone a democratic transition process and exhibits significant variations in economic performance. Based on two different surveys covering nearly 30 years (1995–2022), we find that Chileans, on average, prioritize the national economy over their own economic circumstances when evaluating government performance. The predominance of sociotropic effects over egotropic effects is highly robust and does not change according to the survey used. However, with regard to the time dimension, we do not find a clear predominance of current perceptions over future perceptions, or vice versa.
