An Expanded Approach to Analyzing Policy-Minded Candidates

James M Enelow

Public Choice, 1992, vol. 74, issue 4, 425-45

Abstract: A random pivot model is used to expand the theory of policy-minded candidates. Previous results are derived under weaker assumptions. New results about candidate strategies in multiple elections are also obtained. The thrust of these results supports R. Calvert's (1985) finding that office-seeking and policy-mindedness are countervailing forces in election contests. Copyright 1992 by Kluwer Academic Publishers
