Calhoun’s concurrent majority as a generality norm
Constitutional Political Economy - Tập 26 - Trang 375-390 - 2014
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the political philosophy of John C. Calhoun from the perspective of Virginia Political Economy.

A constitutional theory of public enterprise
Constitutional Political Economy - Tập 5 - Trang 287-306 - 1994
This article rationalizes public enterprise by analyzing the constitutional choice between private and public ownership of production arrangements. Arguing that results depend on who does the choosing, the article compares choices by self-governing citizens with choices by self-directed governmental officials. The resulting institutional theory identifies four conditions that cause citizens to fav......
Consistent planning, backwards induction, and rule-governed behavior
Constitutional Political Economy - Tập 7 - Trang 35-48 - 1996
This paper argues that with regard to sequential choice problems the set of assumptions that are necessary for the process of planning to be logically consistent may make the notion of rational dynamic consistency an unacceptable prescription for choice. In this sense, motivational limits to rationality may arise, adding to the inability of making consistent plans an unwillingness to engage in pla......
Contractarianism as Liberal Conservatism: Buchanan's Unfinished Philosophical Agenda
Constitutional Political Economy - Tập 15 - Trang 171-185 - 2004
This paper distinguishes several types of contractarianism. It argues that Buchanan type contractarianism may be classified as a specific “formal type” of conservatism that grants normative status to the status quo. How such conservative contractarianism relates to and possibly blends into classical liberalism is sketched and it is suggested that classical liberal ideals along with a specific form......
Conformity, reciprocity and the sense of justice. How social contract-based preferences and beliefs explain norm compliance: the experimental evidence
Constitutional Political Economy - Tập 21 - Trang 171-201 - 2009
Compliance with a social norm is a matter of self-enforceability and endogenous motivation to conform which is relevant not just to social norms but also to a wide array of institutions. Here we consider endogenous mechanisms that become effective once the game description has been enriched with pre-play communication allowing impartial agreements on a norm (even if they remain not binding in any ......
On Amending Constitutions
Constitutional Political Economy - Tập 10 - Trang 385-396 - 1999
Bruce Ackerman has described three occasions upon which the U.S. Constitution underwent a massive transformation, and one failed attempt to bring about such a transformation. Only one of the major transformations that actually took place took the form of amendments to the Constitution, and even these did not follow the procedures laid down in the Constitution. This has led Ackerman to propose alte......
Crisis and belief: confirmation bias and the behavioral political economy of recession
Constitutional Political Economy - Tập 25 - Trang 376-392 - 2014
The link between crisis and permanent increases in public spending has been investigated from the perspective of interest groups, bureaucratic growth, etc., while a demand perspective, i.e. the question of changing voter preferences, has been ignored. Survey data suggests that individuals become temporarily more in favor of government intervention in the aftermath of an economic crisis. The relat......
Regulatory takings and constitutional repair the 1990s' property-rights rebellion
Constitutional Political Economy - Tập 6 - Trang 171-190 - 1995
In spite of the fact that the Constitution's fifth amendment states that “nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation,” politicians systematically impose almost confiscatory land-use restrictions on citizens. Growth of regulation and property-rights uncertainty have spawned grass roots opposition and political efforts to reinforce constitutional protections. Lacki......
