| Abstract: | This paper studies how interest group lobbying of the bureaucracy affects policy outcomes and how it changes the legislature's willingness to delegate decision-making authority to the bureaucracy. It analyzes how the decision to delegate changes when the bureaucratic agent is subject to external influence. The results show that the optimal degree of delegation as well as the extent to which interest groups influence policy outcomes differ depending on whether the system of government is characterized by unified or divided control. |
