520    Most theories of elections assume that voters and 
       political actors are fully rational. While these 
       formulations produce many insights, they also generate 
       anomalies--most famously, about turnout. The rise of 
       behavioral economics has posed new challenges to the 
       premise of rationality. This groundbreaking book provides 
       a behavioral theory of elections based on the notion that 
       all actors--politicians as well as voters--are only 
       boundedly rational. The theory posits learning via trial 
       and error: actions that surpass an actor's aspiration 
       level are more likely to be used in the future, while 
       those that fall short are less likely to be tried later. 
       Based on this idea of adaptation, the authors construct 
       formal models of party competition, turnout, and voters' 
       choices of candidates. These models predict substantial 
       turnout levels, voters sorting into parties, and winning 
       parties adopting centrist platforms. In multiparty 
       elections, voters are able to coordinate vote choices on 
       majority-preferred candidates, while all candidates garner
       significant vote shares. Overall, the behavioral theory 
       and its models produce macroimplications consistent with 
       the data on elections, and they use plausible 
       microassumptions about the cognitive capacities of 
       politicians and voters. A computational model accompanies 
       the book and can be used as a tool for further research.
