Tiivistelmä: | The paper builds on Baron and Ferejohn's bargaining model to describe public investments in a setting of budgetary politics. The paper shows that underinvestment inherently arises from distributive politics within the majoritarian institution. The inability of current majorities to contract with future ones drives a wedge between spending on consumption today and investing for future consumption. |
