Political competition and its consequences

Then, more selfish politicians (higher ego …

One relates to swing voters and their perception of a president’s competence. The other one captures the effort by a president to appeal and mobilize her base voters. We model erraticism in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, but our model could also be applied to other realms of politic…

Additionally, we obtain three theoretical results which are tested with panel data for Portuguese municipalities. The…
