Candidate quality in a Downsian model with a continuous policy space
This paper characterizes a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium in a one-dimensional Downsian model of two-candidate elections with a continuous policy space, where candidates are office motivated and one candidate enjoys a nonpolicy advantage over the other candidate. We assume that voters have quadratic preferences over policies and that their ideal points are drawn from a uniform distribution ove...

This paper characterizes a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium in a one-dimensional Downsian model of two-candidate elections with a continuous policy space, where candidates are office motivated and one candidate enjoys a nonpolicy advantage over the other candidate. We assume that voters have quadratic preferences over policies and that their ideal points are drawn from a uniform distribution ove...
متن کاملMixed Equilibrium in a Downsian Model with a Favored Candidate
This paper examines competition in the standard one-dimensional Downsian model of two-candidate elections, but where one candidate (A) enjoys an advantage over the other candidate (D). Voters' preferences are Euclidean, but any voter will vote for candidate A over candidate D unless D is closer to her ideal point by some xed distance Æ. The location of the median voter's ideal point is uncertai...
متن کاملDownsian Model with Asymmetric Information: Possibility of Policy Divergence
This paper presents a model of Downsian political competition in which voters are imperfectly informed about economic fundamentals. In this setting, parties’ choice of platform influence voters’ behavior not only through voters’ preferences over policies, but also through formation of their expectation of the unknown fundamentals. We show that in this political game with asymmetric information,...
متن کاملA model with policy network approach for entrepreneurship policy making
One policy making issue that needs to be addressed more effectively through an intergovernmental and participatory approach is entrepreneurship policy. Entrepreneurship is an area where interdependencies are very high, and the establishment of collaborative relationships such as networks is vital. Therefore, a network approach in the entrepreneurial policy-making process, which leads to the inv...
