It has been noted that the cost of running for a county parliamentary seat in nineteenth-century Britain was about twice the cost of running for a borough seat. Since there were no residency requirements and no difference in political power between the borough and county MPs, this persistent price discrepancy needs explanation. Higher informational costs in the counties may have led to fewer contested elections
