Election Goals and the Allocation of Campaign Resources
比较了政党在两种目标（最大化预期席位数和最大化赢得多数席位概率）下的均衡行为与结果，揭示了目标差异和政党不对称性的作用。
This paper compares the equilibrium behavior and outcomes in a model of two-party competition for legislative seats, under two different assumptions about the parties' goals: 1) parties maximize the expected number of seats won; and 2) parties maximize the probability of winning a majority of the seats. The two goals may lead to qualitatively different behavior, and studying the differences yields insights into the relationship between the goals, and the role of assymetries between the parties
