Multidimensional political competition with non-common beliefs
This paper extends a probabilistic voting model with a multidimensional policy space, allowing candidates to have different prior probability distributions of the distribution of voters’ ideal policies. In this model, we show that a platform pair is a Nash equilibrium if and only if both candidates choose a common generalized median of expected ideal policies. Thus, the existence of a Nash equi...
متن کاملIterated Expectations with Common Beliefs
This paper generalizes a result by Samet concerning iterated expectations and common priors. When a player in some state of the world is allowed to ascribe probability zero to that state, something not allowed in Samet’s framework, iterated expectations may not converge, and when they do, common knowledge of their limit may not characterize a common prior. It is shown here that replacing common...
متن کاملSpatial models of political competition with endogenous political parties.
Two important human action selection processes are the choice by citizens of parties to support in elections and the choice by party leaders of policy 'packages' offered to citizens in order to attract this support. Having reviewed approaches analysing these choices and the reasons for doing this using the methodology of agent-based modelling, we extend a recent agent-based model of party compe...

There is a growing evidence that political corruption is often closely associated with the rent seeking activities of special interest groups. This paper examines the nature of the interaction between the lobbying activities of special interest groups and the incidence of political corruption and determines whether electoral competition can eliminate political corruption. We obtain some strikin...
متن کاملPhysiological Arousal and Political Beliefs
It is by now well known that political attitudes can be affected by emotions. Most earlier studies have focused on emotions generated by some political event (e.g., terrorism or increased immigration). However, the methods used in previous efforts have made it difficult to untangle the various causal pathways that might link emotions to political beliefs. In contrast, we focus on emotions incid...
