We study a flexible dynamic savings game in continuous time, where decision makers rotate in and out of power. These agents value spending more highly while in power creating a time-inconsistency problem. We provide a sharp characterization of Markov equilibria. Our analysis proceeds by...

When are political institutions stable? When do they tend toward reform? This paper examines a model of dynamic, endogenous institutional change. We introduce the class of dynamic political games (DPGs), dynamic games in which the political aggregation rules used at date t+1 are chosen by the...
