Economics education under algorithmic power: Moral judgment, pluralism and the political economy of AI
The rapid diffusion of generative artificial intelligence in higher education is reshaping not only assessment practices but the epistemic and normative foundations of disciplinary knowledge. In economics education, where the distinction between positive analysis and normative judgment has long structured curricula, algorithmic systems risk amplifying theoretical monocultures, obscuring value assumptions, and privileging procedural fluency over c…
The Economic Consequences of Political Donation Limits
The economic consequences of limits on political donations depend on the degree of political competition. Donors, who are ideologically aligned with candidates, decide how much to contribute to their own candidate. They may benefit from rent‐seeking by their own candidate but dislike rent‐seeking by the opposition. Increased rent‐seeking by politicians thus generates campaign contributions for themselves but also mobilizes donations to the opposi…
Are marginals different? Evidence from British elections 1950–2015
We analyse the results of British general elections from 1950 to 2015. In our model, voting is both instrumental and expressive, and is driven both by ideology and the perceived valence of different parties. On most assumptions the model predicts that the safer the seat the lower the swing. The exception is where ideological factors are relatively dominant in instrumental voting, and valence factors are relatively dominant in expressive voting. I…

Gladstone's Gladstone? The chancellorship of Robert Lowe, 1868-73
In 1868 Gladstone appointed Robert Lowe (1811–92) chancellor, despite Lowe's rebarbative attacks on Gladstone's own chancellorships, because he thought Lowe the best man to hold down public spending. Public spending in fact rose, and Gladstone pronounced Lowe ‘wretchedly deficient’, a view that posterity has not challenged. This article argues that Lowe was a better Gladstonian than Gladstone himself. Lowe also stood out for his systematic undere…
Political Business Cycles and Central Bank Independence
This paper develops a dynamic model of Rational Partisan Business Cycles in which wage contracts overlap elections and wage setters have to make a prediction about the election result. Empirical analysis of 20 OECD countries supports the theoretical implication that left wing incumbents increase output, but increased expectation of a left wing regime reduces it. The model is extended to incorporate the effects of alternative measures of Central B…
Behind the Cube Rule: Implications of, and Evidence against a Fractal Electoral Geography
In 1909 Parker Smith showed that the ratio of seats won by the two major parties in Britain was close to the cube of the ratio of their votes. Taagepera and Shugart argue, wrongly, that a fractal electoral map implies this. In fact, their premises imply that the seats' ratio will be the votes' ratio to the power of √3, not 3. However, in the six countries we examine, the figure is between 2 and 3. This implies that the electoral map is nonfractal…
Do Currency Unions Grow Too Large For Their Own Good
This article puts a rigorous foundation under the proposition that currency areas, as they admit more members, face a rising marginal cost curve which cuts the marginal benefit curve from below. However, at any given time, the median member faces lower marginal cost than the average member, so that, if new members are admitted by majority vote, and existing members are myopic, the currency area will expand beyond its optimum size. Although the cu…
