Millner, Antony; Ollivier, Hélène; Simon, Leo K. - 2014
We consider a two period model in which an incumbent political party chooses the level of a current policy variable unilaterally, but faces competition from a political opponent in the future. Both parties care about voters payoffs, but they have different beliefs about how policy choices will...

Who Should Fight? Experimental Evidence on Policy Corrections to the Unequal Costs of U.S. Wars
Goldstein, Daniel A. N.; Stommes, Drew - 2022
