In this paper we provide a political-economic model that traces the influence of ideology on determining the tax rate in political competition. What we found is that, when the salience of ideology increases, the cohort of voters with the median ideological view become the swing voters. Then, the equilibrium tax rate benefits that cohort of voters.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen Ideas sobre etnicidad, religión y nacionalismo entre otros, que llamamos &#8220;ideología&#8221;, parecen afectar las preferencias de los votantes, los partidos políticos y, por último, la política de equilibrio. Este artículo provee un modelo político-económico que traza la influencia de la ideología en la determinación de la tasa de impuestos en un ambiente de competencia política. Lo que encontramos es que, cuando la relevancia de la ideología aumenta, el grupo de votantes con la visión ideológica mediana se convierte en los votantes decisivos. Por tal, la tasa de impuestos de equilibrio beneficia a ese grupo de votantes.]]></p></abstract>
