Electoral Competition with Privately Informed Players

A model of electoral competition with office-seeking players and sincere voting has been studied. Players announce a policy position in a one-dimensional policy space, but have private information about their true types that affect policy outcomes in other dimensions. A policy announcement is then capable of signaling a player's type. Voters are Bayesian. The set of equilibria that arise in the announced dimension has been characterized.

A model of electoral competition with office-seeking players and sincere voting has been studied. Players announce a policy position in a one-dimensional policy space, but have private information about their true types that affect policy outcomes in other dimensions. A policy announcement is then capable of signaling a player's type. Voters are Bayesian. The set of equilibria that arise in the announced dimension has been characterized.
