SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This study breaks new ground in investigating candidate behavior in American electoral campaigns. It centers on a question of equal importance to citizens and scholars: how can we produce better political campaigns? It takes an innovative approach by bringing together critical and empirical methods as well as game theory.
