We present a model of electoral competition with endogenous platforms and campaign spending where the division of voters between impressionable and ideological is also endogenous and depends on parties’ strategic platform choices. Our approach results in a tractable model that provides interesting compara- tive statics on the effect of recent technological advancements. For instance, we can accommodate a new justification behind the well-documented simultaneous increase in campaign spending and polarization: an increase in the effectiveness of electoral advertising, or a decrease in the electorate’s political aware- ness, surely increases polarization and may also increase campaign spending. Financial support from the Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI) and the European Regional Development Funds (ERDF) through grants ECO2017-86305-C4-1-R (Balart) and ECO2017-85763-R (Casas) is acknowl- edged. Casas acknowledges financial support from Fundación Ramón Areces through the XIX Concurso Nacional para la Adjudicación de Ayudas a la Investigación en Ciencias Sociales. The project leading to these results also received funding from ‘‘la Caixa” Foundation, under the agreement LCF/PR/PR13/51080004 (Casas) |
