SUMMARY:Katherine Casey - Stanford University
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nThe Incentives to (Not) Debate in Low Information Races\n\n\nAbstract:\
 nWhy are there few debates in low-information elections where they have the
  greatest potential to inform vote choices?  Consistent with candidate
 s having weak incentives to reveal their qualifications or make policy comm
 itments, we find only a quarter of 400 Parliamentary candidates in Sierra L
 eone privately volunteer to debate. Introducing guaranteed public dissemina
 tion platforms allows voters to punish those who abstain and sharply increa
 ses participation.  Randomly improving the quality of the platform ind
 uces frontrunners to join.  We document high voter willingness to pay 
 to access debates and private sector interest in disseminating them, confir
 ming that candidate reluctance and not market viability is the main barrier
 . \n
