However, the\r\noutcome of the contest a\u001bects all players according to the ideological distance between the\r\nimplemented policy and the players' preferences. The players can either lobby by themselves,\r\nform a coalition of lobbyists or free ride. We \u001cnd that free coalition formation is reasonable\r\nif either players with moderate preferences face lobby groups with extreme preferences, or if\r\nthere are two opposing coalitions with an equal number of members. Otherwise, there are\r\nalways free riders among the players."}],"oa":"1","jel":["C71","D72","D74"],"has_accepted_license":"1","date_created":"2022-04-19T15:06:55Z","file_date_updated":"2022-04-19T15:06:49Z","keyword":["Group formation","Rent-seeking","Free riding"],"ddc":["330"],"file":[{"date_created":"2022-04-19T15:06:49Z","date_updated":"2022-04-19T15:06:49Z","file_size":270316,"creator":"lblock","content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","file_id":"30918","file_name":"Coalition formation versus free riding in rent-seeking contests.pdf"}]}
