A New Theory of Political Scandals
from Not Another Politics Podcast · host University of Chicago Podcast Network
Political scandal is a historically defining aspect of American politics. But, there’s been very little scholarship on the political incentives that surround the production and consequences of scandals. In a recent paper, “Political Scandal: A Theory”, our very own Will Howell and Wioletta Dziuda create a new model of political scandal that makes these incentives clear. On this episode, we discuss how these incentives should reshape the way we think about political scandals. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
