Vote Buying: General Elections
假设选票买卖合法且无污名，通过序贯竞价博弈分析两党如何用预付现金或胜选后兑现的承诺购买选票，并探讨偏好如何决定胜选者和选民报酬。
We examine the consequences of vote buying, assuming this practice were allowed and free of stigma. Two parties compete in a binary election and may purchase votes in a sequential bidding game via up-front binding payments and/or campaign promises (platforms) that are contingent on the outcome of the election. We analyze the role of the parties' and voters' preferences in determining the winner and the payments to voters. (c) 2008 by The University of Chicago. All rights reserved.
