Who runs? : honesty and self-selection into politics
Fehrler, Sebastian; Fischbacher, Urs; Schneider, Maik T. - 2016
We examine the incentives to self-select into politics and how they depend on the transparency of the entry process. To this end, we set up a two-stage political competition model and test its key mechanisms in the lab. At the entry stage, potential candidates compete in a contest to become...

A theory on media bias and elections
Sun, Junze; Schram, Arthur; Sloof, Randolph - 2019
We develop a tractable theory to study the impact of biased media on election outcomes, voter turnout and welfare. News released by media allows voters to infer the relative appeal of the two candidates, and the closeness of elections. In large elections, the former determines the election...

Directional Cheap Talk in Electoral Campaigns
Schnakenberg, Keith E. - 2015
Can campaign communications credibly transmit information about candidates' policy intentions? To answer this question, I develop and analyze a game-theoretic model of campaign communication in a two-candidate majority rule election with multidimensional policies. Candidate and voter preferences...

Voting as a war of attrition
Kwiek, Maksymilian; Marreiros, Helia; Vlassopoulos, Michael - 2018
We study communication in committees selecting one of two alternatives when consensus is required and agents have private information about their preferences. Delaying the decision is costly, so a form of multiplayer war of attrition emerges. Waiting allows voters to express the intensity of...
