This paper explores to what extent secondary policy issues are influenced by electoral incentives. We develop a two dimensional political agency model in which a politician decides on both a frontline policy issue and a secondary policy issue. The model predicts when the incumbent should manipulate the secondary policy to attract voters. We test our model by using panel data on environmental po...

The model used was very complex, thus the present study uses a simplified version that is easier to understand. By exploring properties of the system with the simple setup, a better unders tanding of the complex version can be reached. A liquid computer needs a liquid memory and ...
