Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the factors of preferences for nuclear power policy, based on an empirical analysis. Previous works just explained attitude of risk averse, confidence in nuclear faculties or some demography as the factors of preferences for nuclear power policy. However this paper points out that “political” factors is also matter because the “anti-nuclear power” have become an important political issue after the accident of Fukushima nuclear plant. Therefore I focus on the differences of logic between agree and disagree with nuclear power policy, and examine the effect of political factors on each policy preferences. The results of quantitative analysis show the following two points. First, the logic of agree with nuclear power policy is different from the logic of disagree. Second, differences of the competences between candidates in electoral districts can explain the variance of policy preferences, especially agree with anti-nuclear power.
