Partisan lobbyists in conflicts

Gerald Eisenkopf

European Journal of Political Economy, 2019, vol. 60, issue C

Abstract: The paper studies the impact of partisan advisors in economic conflicts. In the experiment these lobbyists can give recommendations to their contestants. The results show that recommendations do not increase contest intensity even though most contestants follow them rather closely. However, the lobbyists effectively undermine nonbinding agreements that aim at reducing contest expenditure between the conflict parties.
