چکیده
Ferejohn and Shipan introduce a game theoretic model of sequential statutory policymaking, in which an administrative agency implements a regulatory policy and three actors court, legislature, and executive are then allowed to sequentially respond by not acting or overturning the agency decision in favor of an alternative policy. The authors find that the agency has substantial policymaking discretion in the simplified case where the only other actor is the legislature. However, the introduction of an executive veto and judicial review decrease the strategic discretion of the agency and increase legislative influence over the bureaucracy.
