Abstract:
|
We develop a sequential bargaining model in which a legislature governed by majority rule divides a budget among its members into both particularistic and collective goods. We find, among other things, that legislators tend to provide particularistic rather than collective goods when they do not heavily discount the future, when coalition formation is easy, and when the legislature is small. The amount spent on collective goods is a nonlinear function of such factors as the relative value of collective goods investments, the size of the legislature, and the degree of legislative patience. And legislatures confronting both collective and particularistic spending options will vary in their preferences for open and closed amendment rules in understandable ways. In sum, our results provide a unified picture of bargaining in legislatures over pork barrel and general welfare legislation. |
