Abstract

Im Frühjahr 2013 wurde bekannt, dass bayerische Landtagsabgeordnete Verwandte als Mitarbeiter angestellt hatten und diese mit Steuergeldern bezahlt wurden. Eine neue Studie, die untersucht, ob die Verwicklung in den Skandal das Wahlergebnis der CSU und die Wahlbeteiligung beeinflusst hat, zeigt nicht, dass sich der Skandal auf das Wahlergebnis oder die Wahlbeteiligung der Bayerischen Landtagswahl 2013 ausgewirkt hat.
