From the Publisher:

How can property rights be protected and contracts be enforced in countries

where the rule of law is ineffective or absent? How can firms from advanced

market economies do business in such circumstances? in Lawlessness and

Economics, Avinash Dixit examines the theory of private institutions that

transcend or supplement weak economic government from the state.


(2) Special Interest Politics

by Gene Grossman and Elhanan Helpman

From the Publisher:

This landmark theoretical book is about the mechanisms by which special

interest groups affect policy in modern democracies. Defining a special

interest group as any organization that takes action on behalf of an

identifiable group of voters, Gene Grossman and Elhanan Helpman ask: How do

special interest groups derive their power and influence? What determines

the extent to which they are able to affect policy outcomes? What happens

when groups with differing objectives compete for influence?

The authors develop important theoretical tools for studying the interactions

among voters, interest groups, and politicians. They assume that individuals,

groups, and parties act in their own self-interest and that political outcomes

can be identified with the game-theoretic concept of an equilibrium.

Throughout, they progress from the simple to the more complex. When analyzing

campaign giving, for example, they begin with a model of a single interest

group and a single, incumbent policy maker. They proceed to add additional

interest groups, a legislature with several independent politicians, and

electoral competition between rival political parties. The book is organized

in three parts. Part I focuses on voting and elections. Part II examines

the use of information as a tool for political influence. Part III deals

with campaign contributions, which interest groups may use either to

influence policy makers' positions and actions or to help preferred

candidates to win election.
