Abstract
The literature on vote choice in Taiwan has regularly identified ethnoterritorial ideology – preference for independence or unification with China – as the main ideological cleavage in Taiwanese party politics. This paper contributes to the literature by investigating the effects of two more ideological dimensions on vote choice: social and economic. Based on data from the Taiwan Election and Democratization Study (TEDS) for the 2016 presidential and legislative elections, our findings demonstrate that social and (to a lesser degree) economic ideologies do have significant influence on vote choice, though ethnoterritorial ideology remains the primary ideological determinant. Findings were similar for the presidential and legislative elections. On this basis, we make a case for increased attention to social and economic ideologies in future research on vote choice in Taiwan, and we encourage scholars to study Taiwan in comparative perspective with other societies that are divided along ethnoterritorial lines.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
