Factions and Political Competition
构建了一个政治竞争新模型，其中候选人属于不同派系，派系在选举前竞争将地方公共品分配给其选区，模型统一解释了公共资源分配中政策持续性和偏向执政党大本营的现象。
This paper presents a new model of political competition in which candidates belong to factions. Before elections, factions compete to direct local public goods to their local constituencies. The model of factional competition delivers a rich set of implications relating the internal organization of the party to the allocation of resources. In doing so, the model provides a unified explanation of two prominent features of public resource allocations: the persistence of (possibly inefficient) policies and the tendency of public spending to favor incumbent party strongholds over swing constituencies.
