综述了共同代理模型在政治影响分析中的应用,讨论了该文献的弱点,为利益集团形成、游说性质、政治制度等方向的研究提供了新思路。
Abstract The common agency model is among the most productive economic frameworks of recent times, generating important results in the analysis of political influence, industrial organization and public goods provision. This paper presents a survey of the applications of the common agency model to issues of political influence, examining the applications and their results. It also discusses a number of the weaknesses of this literature, weaknesses that open up important avenues of further research in the directions of interest group formation, the nature of lobbying, the political system, behavioural demands and empirical analysis.
