The authors have two purposes in this book, and they succeed
admirably at both. They develop a general model of public policy
making focused on the difficulties of securing intertemporal
exchanges among politicians. They combine the tools of game theory
with Williamson's transaction cost theory, North's institutional
arguments, and contract theory to provide a general theory of
public policy making in a comparative political economy setting.
They also undertake a detailed study of Argentina, using
statistical analyses on newly developed data to complement their
nuanced account of institutions, rules, incentives and outcomes.
