The Galam Model of Minority Opinion Spreading and the Marriage Gap
Krzysztof Kulakowski, Maria Nawojczyk
Abstract
In 2002, Serge Galam designed a model of a minority opinion spreading. The effect is expected to lead a conservative minority to prevail if the issue is discussed long enough. Here we analyze the marriage gap, i.e. the difference in voting for Bush and Kerry in 2004 between married and unmarried people. It seems possible to interpret this marriage gap in terms of the Galam model.
