Endogenous Lobbying
构建了一个内生游说的公民候选人代议制民主模型，发现游说促使政策妥协，使结果偏向中间立场，极端政策无法在均衡中出现，且并非所有游说团体都参与决策。
In this article, we present a citizen-candidate model of representative democracy with endogenous lobbying. We find that lobbying induces policy compromise and always affects equilibrium policy outcomes. In particular, even though the policy preferences of lobbies are relatively extreme, lobbying biases the outcome of the political process toward the center of the policy space, and extreme policies cannot emerge in equilibrium. Moreover, in equilibrium, not all lobbies participate in the policy-making process.
