For the US House of Representatives, Cox and McCubbins discover tiny majority-party roll rates and offer them as evidence of majority-party agenda control. However, the observed roll rates are approximately what would result from chance alone or from chance constrained in several natural ways. Besides that, we show that rolls themselves are not evidence of any lapse in partisan agenda control and may even occur as the intended consequence of agenda setting by the majority party. Innovations include a solution to the combinatorial problem of counting all possible rolls, the associated computations, hypothetical examples of strategically advantageous self-induced rolls, and a review of likely real examples of the same.
就美国众议院而言,考克斯和麦卡宾斯发现了微弱的多数党投票率,并将其作为多数党控制议程的证据。然而,所观察到的掷出率大约是由偶然性单独产生的结果,或者是在几种自然方式下由偶然性约束产生的结果。除此之外,我们还表明,投票本身并不是党派议程控制失误的证据,甚至可能是多数党设定议程的预期后果。创新包括计算所有可能掷出的骰子的组合问题的解决方案,相关的计算,策略上有利的自诱导掷出的假设例子,以及对可能的真实例子的回顾。

Military conscription, external security, and income inequality: The missing link 征兵、外部安全和收入不平等:缺失的一环
IF 1 4区 社会学 Q3 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2020-01-29 DOI: 10.1177/0951629819895595

This article seeks to analyze the political economy of military conscription policy and its relationship with a country’s external security environment. National security is modeled as a non-rivalrous and non-excludable public good, whose production technology consists of either centrally conscripted or competitively recruited military labor. Conscription is construed as an implicit discretionary tax on citizens’ labor endowment. Based on this, I propose a simple political economy model of pure public goods provision financed by two policy instruments: a lump-sum income tax and a conscription tax. Constraint optimization of a quasi-linear utility function gives rise to three general classes of preferences: high- and low-skilled citizens will prefer an all-volunteer army, albeit of different size, whereas medium-skilled citizens will favor positive levels of conscription. These derived preferences allow me to tease out an explicit relationship between military manpower procurement policy, a country’s level of external threat, and its pre-tax income inequality levels. One of my key findings is that more egalitarian countries are more likely to use conscription as a military manpower procurement mechanism.
本文试图分析征兵政策的政治经济学及其与国家外部安全环境的关系。国家安全被建模为一种非竞争性和非排他性的公共产品,其生产技术由集中招募或竞争性招募的军事劳动力组成。征兵被解释为对公民的劳动禀赋征收隐含的自由裁量税。基于此,我提出了一个简单的政治经济学模型,即由两种政策工具资助的纯公共产品供应:一次性所得税和征兵税。准线性效用函数的约束优化产生了三类普遍的偏好:高技能和低技能公民更喜欢全志愿军,尽管规模不同,而中等技能公民则更喜欢正水平的征兵。这些衍生的偏好使我能够梳理出军事人力采购政策、一个国家的外部威胁水平及其税前收入不平等水平之间的明确关系。我的一个关键发现是,更平等的国家更有可能将征兵作为军事人力采购机制。

Subpoena power and informational lobbying 传讯权和信息游说

This article studies the role of subpoena power in enabling policymakers to make better-informed decisions. In particular, we take into account the effect of subpoena power on the information voluntarily supplied by interest groups as well as the information obtained by the policymaker via the subpoena process. To this end, we develop a model of informational lobbying in which interest groups seek access to the policymaker in order to provide him verifiable evidence about the desirability of implementing reforms they care about. The policymaker is access-constrained, that is, he lacks time/resources to scrutinize the evidence owned by all interest groups. The policymaker may also be agenda-constrained, that is, he may lack time/resources to reform all issues. We find that if a policymaker is agenda-constrained, then he is better off by having subpoena power. On the other hand, if a policymaker is not agenda-constrained, he can be worse off by having subpoena power. The key insight behind these findings is that subpoena power, while it increases the policymaker’s ability to acquire information from interest groups, it also alters the amount of information they voluntarily provide via lobbying, and that the net effect differs depending on whether or not the policymaker is agenda-constrained.
本文研究了传讯权在使决策者做出更明智决策中的作用。我们特别考虑了传讯权对利益集团自愿提供的信息以及决策者通过传讯程序获得的信息的影响。为此,我们开发了一个信息游说模型,在这个模型中,利益集团寻求接触政策制定者,以便向他提供可验证的证据,证明实施他们所关心的改革的可取性。政策制定者是受限的,也就是说,他缺乏时间/资源来审查所有利益集团所拥有的证据。政策制定者也可能受到议程限制,也就是说,他可能缺乏时间/资源来改革所有问题。我们发现,如果政策制定者受到议程限制,那么他最好拥有传唤权。另一方面,如果政策制定者不受议程限制,那么拥有传讯权可能对他更不利。这些发现背后的关键见解是,传票权虽然增加了政策制定者从利益集团获取信息的能力,但也改变了他们通过游说自愿提供的信息量,而且净效应取决于政策制定者是否受到议程限制。

Legislative bargaining and partisan delegation 立法谈判和党派授权

We use an extension of the Baron–Ferejohn model of legislative bargaining in which there are three legislators, two of whom have partisan ties, to analyze the division of a fixed political resource in a majoritarian legislature. A legislator’s preferences depend on the shares that he and any copartisan receive. We ask whether there are circumstances under which a partisan legislator is willing to delegate proposal-making authority to a party leader so as to take advantage of the special proposal rights accorded by the legislature to this office rather than retaining equal-recognition proposal rights for himself. We show that this is the case only if (i) the leader’s proposal recognition probability is larger than the probability that one of the partisans is recognized when the legislators act independently, (ii) the value of partisan affiliation is sufficiently high, and (iii) the legislators are sufficiently impatient. We explore the relevance of these results to ongoing debates regarding the role and effect of parties and party leaders in Congress.
我们使用Baron–Ferejohn立法谈判模型的扩展,其中有三名立法者,其中两人有党派关系,来分析多数立法机构中固定政治资源的分配。立法者的偏好取决于他和任何共党派人士获得的股份。我们询问,在某些情况下,党派立法者是否愿意将提案制定权下放给政党领导人,以利用立法机构赋予该职位的特殊提案权,而不是为自己保留平等承认的提案权。我们表明,只有当(i)领导人的提案被认可的概率大于立法者独立行动时其中一名党派人士被认可的可能性,(ii)党派关系的价值足够高,以及(iii)立法者足够不耐烦时,情况才会如此。我们探讨了这些结果与正在进行的关于政党和政党领导人在国会中的作用和影响的辩论的相关性。

War and diplomacy on the world stage: Crisis bargaining before third parties 世界舞台上的战争与外交:在第三方面前的危机谈判

I analyze a three-actor model of crisis bargaining with two key features. First, diplomatic opposition raises the costs of war, but an informed state can avoid it by conveying restraint to a supporter. Second, the means of conveying restraint may fail to convince an enemy tempted to risk war of the informed state’s willingness to fight. I derive three results. First, war is more likely when third parties believe the informed state to be generally restrained. Second, the threat of opposition that modestly affects the costs of war discourages risky bluffing. Third, the threat of opposition that substantially raises the costs of war can lead states to mask a true willingness to fight, securing diplomatic support at the price of an elevated risk of war despite the availability of a credible signal. Building diplomatic coalitions to prevent balancing can simultaneously make credible communication that averts war both easy and unattractive.
我分析了一个具有两个关键特征的三行为者危机谈判模型。首先,外交上的反对增加了战争的成本,但一个知情的国家可以通过向支持者施加约束来避免战争。其次,传达克制的手段可能无法说服想要冒险作战的敌人相信消息灵通的国家愿意战斗。我得到了三个结果。首先,当第三方认为知情国家普遍受到限制时,战争更有可能发生。其次,反对派的威胁会适度地影响战争成本,从而阻止危险的虚张声势。第三,反对的威胁大大提高了战争成本,这可能导致国家掩盖真正的战斗意愿,尽管有可信的信号,但却以更高的战争风险为代价获得外交支持。建立外交联盟以防止平衡,可以同时使避免战争的可信沟通既容易又缺乏吸引力。

Delegation and political turnover 授权和政治变动

We study a two-period delegation model with an uncertain future principal. In the first period, an incumbent principal decides whether to delegate policy-making authority to an agent or make policy herself. Before the second period, there is an election, and another principal with different preferences may take power. The main result is that the incumbent can exploit the uncertainty about the future principal to extract policy surplus from the agent. The agent’s uncertainty about the future principal pushes him to implement a policy that both principals accept. The surplus from this compromise policy makes the incumbent better off than she would be without the possibility of turnover. We also find that when costs are low, policy stability can increase as elections become more competitive, as the agent has more incentive to implement a compromise policy. We then allow the incumbent to appoint the agent. We show that as the incumbent becomes more likely to retain office, she prefers more policy conflict with the agent.
我们研究了一个具有不确定未来本金的两阶段委托模型。在第一阶段,现任委托人决定是将决策权委托给代理人还是自己制定政策。在第二阶段之前,有一次选举,另一位有不同偏好的校长可能会掌权。主要结果是,任职者可以利用未来本金的不确定性从代理人那里提取政策盈余。代理人对未来委托人的不确定性促使他执行一项双方都接受的政策。这种折衷政策带来的盈余使现任总统比没有更替可能性的情况下过得更好。我们还发现,当成本较低时,随着选举竞争的加剧,政策的稳定性会增加,因为代理人更有动力实施妥协政策。然后,我们允许现任者任命代理人。我们发现,随着现任者更有可能留任,她更喜欢与代理人发生更多的政策冲突。

Party, candidate, and voter incentives under free list proportional representation 自由名单比例代表制下的政党、候选人和选民激励
IF 1 4区 社会学 Q3 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2020-01-01 DOI: 10.1177/0951629819893023
Thomas Mustillo, John Polga-Hecimovich
Under free list proportional representation voters can: (a) cast preference votes for candidates; (b) cast multiple preferences; and (c) distribute preferences across multiple lists. Alternatively, they can cast a list vote. Our theory shows that office-seeking candidates face incentives to pursue the personal vote, while non-candidate partisans seek the party vote. Voters are in the cross-currents of these forces. Also, since preference voting is so cognitively and informationally demanding, voters have incentives to use shortcuts, especially (a) list voting; (b) casting fewer than their allotment of preferences; and (c) preference voting for well-known or highly placed candidates. We find support for our expectations using linear mixed-effects regression of the proportion of preference votes in candidate-level electoral data from Ecuador. Personal voting is more prevalent as magnitude increases, where the local party is strong, and for candidates that are incumbents, male, high on the list, and in the position of first loser.
在自由名单下,比例代表制选民可以:(a)为候选人投优先票;(b) 铸造多种偏好;以及(c)将偏好分布在多个列表上。或者,他们可以进行名单投票。我们的理论表明,寻求公职的候选人面临着追求个人投票的激励,而非候选人党派则寻求政党投票。选民们正处于这些力量的逆流之中。此外,由于偏好投票在认知和信息方面要求很高,选民有动机使用捷径,尤其是(a)名单投票;(b) 铸造比他们分配的偏好少;以及(c)对知名或排名靠前的候选人进行优先投票。我们使用厄瓜多尔候选人级别选举数据中偏好选票比例的线性混合效应回归来支持我们的预期。个人投票随着规模的增加而更加普遍,在地方政党强大的地方,对于现任候选人,男性,在名单上排名靠前,处于第一失败者的位置。

Public goods equilibria under closed- and open-list proportional representation 封闭和开放列表比例代表下的公共产品均衡
IF 1 4区 社会学 Q3 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2020-01-01 DOI: 10.1177/0951629819895808
D. Kselman
Building on past research, this paper develops a game theoretic model to study the provision of local public goods under closed- and open-list proportional representation (CLPR and OLPR). The core results suggest that, all thing equal, legislators will provide voters with higher levels of public goods in OLPR than in CLPR systems. However, two intervening variables condition the institutional comparison: the district magnitude and electoral volatility. Firstly, public goods effort increases as district magnitude increases in OLPR systems, while it tends to decrease as magnitude increases in CLPR systems. Indeed, when district magnitude is 2 , the two systems are often indistinguishable. Furthermore, the distinction between OLPR and CLPR weakens when electoral volatility is low, such that neither system generates high levels of public goods effort. In addition to their relevance for political economy, the paper’s results provide game theoretic foundations for a series of theoretical conjectures found in Carey and Shugart’s (1995) seminal study of electoral institutions and legislative personalism (Incentives to cultivate a personal vote: A rank-ordering of electoral formulas. Electoral Studies 1995; 14(4): 417–439).
在以往研究的基础上,本文建立了一个博弈论模型来研究封闭和开放名单比例代表制下的地方公共产品供给问题。核心结果表明,在一切平等的情况下,立法者将在OLPR中为选民提供比CLPR系统更高水平的公共产品。然而,两个干预变量制约了制度比较:地区规模和选举波动性。首先,在OLPR系统中,公共产品努力随着地区规模的增加而增加,而在CLPR系统中则倾向于随着规模的增大而减少。事实上,当地区震级为2时,这两个系统往往无法区分。此外,当选举波动性较低时,OLPR和CLPR之间的区别就会减弱,因此这两个系统都不会产生高水平的公共产品努力。除了与政治经济学的相关性外,该论文的结果还为Carey和Shugart(1995)对选举制度和立法个人化的开创性研究中发现的一系列理论猜想提供了博弈论基础(激励培养个人投票:选举公式的排序。选举研究1995;14(4):417–439)。

The core results suggest that, all thing equal, legislators will provide voters with higher levels of public goods in OLPR than in CLPR systems. However, two intervening variables condition the institutional comparison: the district magnitude and electoral volatility. Firstly, public goods effort increases as district magnitude increases in OLPR systems, while it tends to decrease as magnitude increases in CLPR systems. Indeed, when district magnitude is 2 , the two systems are often indistinguishable. Furthermore, the distinction between OLPR and CLPR weakens when electoral volatility is low, such that neither system generates high levels of public goods effort.

We study the distribution of preference votes across politicians with different behaviors and attitudes. There are two main findings. First, preference votes are concentrated to politicians who are more active in communicating their policy proposals and policy priorities. This suggests that preference voting may incentivize more transparency and communication among politicians, and, hence, be positive for accountability. Second, preference votes are concentrated to politicians who are more—not less—loyal to the party in their voting decisions, and to politicians who’s ideological and policy positions are mainstream—rather than extreme—compared to their party colleagues. Together with the first finding, this suggests that preference voting can strengthen the bond of accountability between voters and politicians without undercutting parties’ ideological cohesion.
我们研究了不同行为和态度的政治家的偏好选票分布。主要有两个发现。首先,优先投票集中在更积极沟通政策建议和政策优先事项的政治家身上。这表明,偏好投票可能会激励政治家之间提高透明度和沟通,从而对问责制产生积极影响。其次,优先票集中在那些在投票决定中对党更忠诚(而不是更少)的政客身上,以及那些意识形态和政策立场与党内同僚相比是主流而不是极端的政客身。再加上第一个发现,这表明偏好投票可以在不削弱政党意识形态凝聚力的情况下,加强选民和政治家之间的问责纽带。
