Munroe Eagles, “The Effectiveness of Local Campaign Spending in the 1993 and 1997 Federal Elections in Canada”

Canadian Journal of Political Science / Revue canadienne de science politique, Volume 37, Number 1, March 2004, pp 117–136.

The interpretation of coefficients reported in Tables 2 and 3 of this article is incorrect. Whereas the text discusses the impact of a $1.00 change in local campaign expenditure on the vote share going to a candidate, the impact described actually corresponds to a $100 change in spending. This error results in a considerable over-estimate in the discussion of the impact of such spending. The author is grateful to Fred Cutler (University of British Columbia) for pointing out this error.
