Estimating Incumbency Advantage without Bias [PDF]
American Journal of Political Science, 1990 In this paper we prove theoretically and demonstrate empirically that all existing measures of incumbency advantage in the congressional elections literature are biased or inconsistent.

The Advantage of Incumbents in Coalitional Bargaining [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021 The composition of governing coalitions does not always reflect the relative sizes of the coalition members, but research has not been able to fully reconcile why.
