David Strömberg

Annual Review of Economics, 2015, vol. 7, issue 1, 173-205

Abstract: This article provides a review of recent literature in economics on the effect of mass media on politics. The focus is on the welfare effects of mass media. I also discuss the likely implications of existing behavioral theories of media effects, developed outside of economics.
