摘要
The empirical trade policy literature based on by Grossman and Helpman [Grossman, G. and E. Helpman, 1994, Protection for Sale, American Economic Review 84,833-850.] provides estimates of the U.S. and Turkish governments' weight on welfare significantly greater than on campaign contributions. We explain this puzzle by incorporating political institutions and political instability. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
