| Summary: | This paper analyzes inter- and intraregional redistribution in a centralized state using
the citizen-candidate model. It focuses on conflicting interests among regions and
among citizens of varying mobility. If discrimination with respect to place of residence
and degree of mobility is possible, diversity of interests is high. Under the plurality rule
and with sincere voting, the largest socioeconomic group of citizens supplies the winning
candidate and discriminates against all other groups. However, if discrimination
with respect to the degree of mobility is constrained, mobile citizens may gain power
and interregional redistribution is reduced. |
