The State: Agent or Proprieter

Herschel I. Grossman

No 99-3, Working Papers from Brown University, Department of Economics

Abstract: This paper addresses the following question: Does characterizing the state to be an agent of its subjects provide a useful "as if" framework for positive analysis of economic policy? Or, can we understand economic policy only by explicitly characterizing the state as proprietary, the instrument of the ruling elite?
