Abstract
We consider groups that compete to set policy, and show that there may be an incentive to change group composition with respect to policy preferences in such a fashion that equilibrium policies ultimately converge across groups.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
