From estimation of a fully specified, and vigorously challenged, voting model, we conclude there are general, and rather strong, sociotropic retrospective economic voting effects.  This finding is of normative, as well as scientific importance, indicating that governments in these low-income democracies cannot escape electoral sanction for the delivery of poor economic performance.
