Election Goals and the Allocation of Campaign Resources
Abstract
This paper compares the equilibrium behavior and outcomes in a model of two-party competition for legislative seats under two different assumptions about the parties' goals: (1) parties maximize the expected number of seats won, and (2) parties maximize the probability of winning a majority of the seats. The two goals may lead to qualitatively different behavior, and studying the differences yields insights into the relationship between the goals, and the role of asymmetries between the parties.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
