Caps on political lobbying

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the effects of imposing caps on political lobbying finance reveals that an exogenous cap on all-pay auction bids weakly reduces a high valuation bidder's chances of winning. The study also reveals that caps also may have a perverse effect on increasing aggregate contributions while lowering total surplus as results show that limits on individual expenditures may increase total expenditures and limit total surplus.
