DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nThe Supply and Demand of Good Politicians\nAbstract\nWe study the role 
 of candidate supply and voter demand in political selection. Using two larg
 e province-representative surveys and data on actual local politicians, we 
 separately measure the characteristics of potential candidates and how vote
 rs value these characteristics. We apply this approach to candidate integri
 ty in Italy, focusing on organized crime infiltration of local politics. In
 dividuals willing to enter politics are positively selected on competence b
 ut negatively selected on integrity, while voters place a high value on int
 egrity. Across provinces, lower integrity among potential candidates is not
  associated with lower voter demand for integrity. These findings point to 
 a supply-side source of representation failure, which we quantify in money-
 metric terms.\n
