課程概述 |
This course mainly covers two parts: social choice theory and political economics. I will first introduce some public goods and social choice theories, and the implementation of social choices. Then I will discuss some models related to political competition, legislative decision-making, and the incentives and constraints politicians face. Finally, I will finish with some issues regarding political institutions and political agency models. |
