      Xefteris, Dimitrios; Aragonés, Enriqueta (2012)
      This paper characterizes a unique mixed strategy Nash equilibrium in a one-dimensional Downsian model of two-candidate elections with a continuous policy space, where candidates are office motivated and one candidate enjoys ...

      Mixed strategy equilibrium in a Downsian model with a favored candidate: A comment 

      Xefteris, Dimitrios (2012)
