Foundations of Political Economy

In this project, we examine the foundations of political competition and social choice. In particular, we are concerned with the following issues:

  • How do costs of change affect political competition?
  • Is public information desirable in social choices?
  • How is political competition affected by two-dimensional informational asymmetries regarding the preferences and competence of candidates?
  • How does non-informative advertising (money burning) impact on political signalling games?
  • How should political campaigns be regulated?
