Question 2 (10 points+5 extra credit) This question is about the political agency model discussed in Lecture 13. Consider the case with feedback (when the voter sees whether the policy chosen was good or bad) and strong ofce holding motive (6 > 1). We assumed that the voter reelects if the policy chosen was good and does not reelect if the policy chosen was bad. As discussed in class, in response to this both the good and the bad politician will choose the good policy. (a) (5 points) Holding constant what each politician is doing, would the voter be better off by changing his behavior (i.e., using a different reelection rule)? (b) (5 points) Suppose instead that the voter reelects both after the good and the bad policy. What will the politician do? What is the answer to (a) in this case? (0) (5 points extra credit) Suppose now that the voter never reelects the politician (i.e., picks a random challenger both after the good and the bad policy). What will the politician do? What is the answer to (a) in this case
