Overview

Michael Dorsch's paper "Bailout for Sale? The Vote to Save Wall Street" is forthcoming in the peer-reviewed journal Public Choice.  The paper contributes to the theory of political agency by modeling electoral constraints on legislative voting as heterogeneous. Further, the paper uses data on registered campaign contributions to congressmen in the US House of Representatives to statistically prove that congressional voting on the 2008 banking bailout was influenced by campaign donations from the financial services industry. On 20 September, Professor Dorsch's paper "Inefficient Predation, Information, and Contagious Political Transitions" was presented by co-author Paul Maarek at the internal lunch seminar at Université Cergy-Pontoise. On 18 October, Michael will be the invited discussant at the Séminaire Économie Publique, Institutions & Organisations, hosted by Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
