Incentives and Political Economy by The Late Jean-Jacques Laffont
Laffont examines the incentive problems created by delegating economic policy to self-interested politicians and the blurry line between flexibility of decision-making and discretion to pursue personal agendas.
Review from previous edition deals with the subject in a refreshing piecemeal approach that will allow researchers to embed elements of the theory into their favourite political economy models* Aslib Book Guide, Vol.65, Aug. 2000. *
