Citizen candidates under uncertainty
In this paper I add uncertainty about the total vote count to a “citizen candidate” model of representative democracy. I show that in a society with a large electorate, where the outcome of the election is uncertain and where winning candidates receive a large reward from holding office, there will be a two-candidate equilibrium and no equilibria with a single candidate. ∗This work has benefite...

In this paper we make two contributions to the growing literature on \citizen-candidate" models of representative democracy. First, we add uncertainty about the total vote count. We show that in a society with a large electorate, where the outcome of the election is uncertain and where winning candidates receive a large reward from holding oÆce, there will be a two-candidate equilibrium and no ...
متن کاملA Model of Political Competition with Citizen-Candidates
We develop a model of electoral competition in which citizens choose whether or not to run as candidates; a winner implements her favorite policy. The equilibrium number of candidates depends negatively on the cost of running and positively on the beneets of winning. For some parameter values all equilibria under plurality rule have exactly two candidates, whose positions are distinct. Two-cand...
متن کاملAggregate uncertainty in the citizen candidate model yields extremist parties
We extend the ‘citizen candidate’ model of party formation to allow for aggregate uncertainty over the distribution of preferences. We discuss and characterize the equilibrium set in this framework and show that two-party equilibria have ‘extremist’ parties, i.e. the party winning under a left-wing (right-wing) distribution is to the left (right) of the median of that distribution.
