Abstract: The dynamics of Mexican electoral competition provide a unique opportunity to compare policies undertaken during the seven-decade-old one-party system with multi-party policies. I test empirically whether the incumbents’ one-party policy choices change with three parties competing for office. I find that incumbents undertook the same policies before and after the institutional change, but there is a lower level of registered and perceived government corruption during the multi-party years.
