Strategic Flip‐Flopping in Political Competition

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study candidates' position adjustments in response to information about voters' preferences.

In a subgame‐perfect equilibrium, candidates diverge from the center ex ante if the costs of adjustment are sufficiently large.

ABSTRACT We demonstrate that the incentives of firms that partially own their suppliers or customers to foreclose rivals depend on how the partial owner can extract profit from the target. Compared to a fully vertically integrated firm, a partial owner may obtain only a share of the target's profit but may have significant influence over the target's ...

Can Collaboration Promote Corporate Social Responsibility? Evidence From the Lab
