Kivinen, Steven - 2025

Voting procedures in many democracies satisfy a weak version of fairness called equity (Bartholdi et al., 2021) while violating the standard fairness criterion of anonymity. We study equitable voting procedures when there are more than two alternatives that can be ordered on a left-right...

The gasoline climate trap

Delfgaauw, Josse; Swank, Otto H. - 2023

Due to taxes and subsidies, gasoline prices vary dramatically across countries. Externalities cannot fully account for this. We develop a simple political economic model that shows that group interests, resulting from the composition of a country's car fleet, help to explain differences in...

We examine the two-candidate equilibria of the citizen-candidate model when the implemented policy arises from a compromise between the government and an unelected external power. We show that the equilibria of this model differ significantly from the original: the distance between the...

Inequality and Relative Reliance on Tariffs : Theory and Evidence

Katsimē, Margarita; Moutos, Thomas - 2021

In this paper we construct a Ricardian model of trade in vertically-differentiated products between a developing country and the (developed) rest of the world. Despite labour being the only factor of production in this model, tariffs (in addition to income taxes) have distributional consequences...

Why are More Redistributive Social Security Systems Smaller? A Median Voter Approach

Köthenbürger, Marko; Poutvaara, Panu; Profeta, Paola - 2021

We suggest a political economy explanation for the stylized fact that intragenerationally more redistributive social security systems are smaller. Our key insight is that linking benefits to past earnings (less redistributiveness) reduces the efficiency cost of social security (due to endogenous...

Voting on Public Pensions with Hand and Feet : How Young Migrants Try to Escape from Gerontocracy
