38
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop a game-theoretic model of two-candidate competition over a multidimensional policy space, where the participants have incomplete information about the preferences and strategy choices of other participants.

Elections with limited information: A fulfilled expectations model using contemporaneous poll and endorsement data as information sources
TL;DR: In this paper, a one-dimensional model of two candidate elections under asymmetric information is theoretically developed and experimentally tested, and a fulfilled expectations equilibrium is defined, using poll and endorsement data as information sources.

One voter, two first-order elections?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the 2003 Ontario Election Study, from a provincial election in extremely decentralized federation, to demonstrate that a sub-national election can be a first-order election.

Decisions and Organizations
Joan-Josep Vallbé
- 01 Jan 2015
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the study of decision-making within organizations in the political science literature as part of institutional performance and build upon a simple analytical model that combines the theory of human rationality underlying each approach to organizational decision making, and the way institutions are perceived to influence human decisions.

Public Funding Of Political Parties
TL;DR: In this article, public funding of parties was investigated and the effect of public funds on the convergence of policies was shown. But the authors focused on two types of voters: policy motivated and impressionable voters.

Rational expectations in elections: some experimental results based on a multidimensional model
TL;DR: This paper proposed a model for handling incomplete information in elections, which relies primarily on one source of information (polls) and does not consider other data, such as the historical record of the parties, primary election outcomes, and the coalitions observed at nominating conventions.
