TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider an economy in which policymakers with different preferences alternate in office as a result of elections, and the equilibrium level of debt is larger the larger is the degree of polarization between alternating governments and the less likely it is that the current government will be re-elected.
Abstract: This paper considers an economy in which policymakers with different preferences alternate in office as a result of elections. Government debt is used strategically by each policymaker to influence the choices of his successors. If different policymakers disagree about the desired composition of government spending between two public goods, the economy exhibits a deficits bias; that is, debt accumulation is higher than it would be with a social planner. The equilibrium level of debt is larger the larger is the degree of polarization between alternating governments and the less likely it is that the current government will be re-elected.

  • ...Proof of Lemma 1 Continuity of Re(.) follows from the fact that the maximization is 27 performed on a compact feasible set, and from the continuity of u(•), v(•) and h(•) (see the theorem of the maximum in Hildenbrand (1974))....

TL;DR: In this paper, a general equilibrium model of a competitive security market in which traders possess independent pieces of information about the return of a risky asset is presented. And a closed-form characterization of the rational expectations equilibrium is presented, and a counter-example to the existence of fully revealing equilibrium is developed.
