This study explores the extent to which campaign visibility facilitates electoral participation, using data from firstand second-order elections in Britain. Our contribution to the existing literature is threefold.

The European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA) approved it for all member states in 2002, although only conditionally. One condition was that...

What Does it Take to Render h(Π) Perfect?

It is well-known that h(Π) is perfect in the limit, i. e., we can always choose C so that h(Π) = h∗. But the proof is trivial (select C as the set of all conjunctions), and completely ignores the actual power of h(Π), basically pretending that h is the same as h. It is thus interesting to ask: Can we characterize the power of h(Π) more accurately? How large does C have to be, under which circum...
