Rents tend to be relatively high in developing countries and also very fungible, so that differences in the scale of the rent and in its distribution among economic agents profoundly affect the nature of the political state and the development trajectory. This paper identifies two basic trajectories to a high-income democracy linked to the scale and deployment of rents. Low-rent countries tend ...

The capital income share exceeds the capital output elasticity if capital owners extract rents. Based on a sample of 111 countries during the period 1970-2010, this paper provides estimates of the capital output elasticity and compares these to countries' capital income shares. Three findings arise: (i) for the average country in the sample, the capital income share significantly exceeds the ca...

In the 1920s, Henry Ford famously built a factory in which the raw materials for steel came in on one end and finished automobiles came out the other. But extreme vertical integration such as this is not the fashion today. Ford Motor has recently spun off a significant portion of its parts making operations as a separate company and General Motors has done the same. While General Motors has not...

In this paper, it is argued that the college textbook market provides a clear example of monopoly seeking as described by Tullock (1967, 1980). This behavior is also known as rent seeking. Since this market is important to students, this example of rent seeking will be of particular interest to them.

Buchanan and Tullock’s original trade-off model of constitutional design is used to analyze how constitutional design affects post-constitutional rent seeking, and, in turn, how the anticipation of postconstitution rent seeking should lead to modification of constitutional design—specifically with respect to imposing and maintaining effective (composite) supermajority decision rules. JEL classi...

The winner’s rent for a buyer’s auction is shown to be decreasing in the number of bidders according to the mean residual life order if the common distribution of valuations is of decreasing mean residual life. Stochastic comparisons of the conditional winner’s rent are conducted for both buyer’s case and reverse case. AMS (2000) subject classification. Primary 60E15; secondary 60K10, 62N05.
