Abstract
Rent seekers may attempt to limit costly rent seeking. One way is to increase the number of projects, even to universal service. In particular, a legislator may propose a number of projects that exceeds the number of members in the majority (as by too many bus stops, or too many university campuses), thereby inducing each member of the majority to reduce his rent-seeking efforts. This mechanism can also induce the majority to favor low quality of the projects, and to favor having the central government impose co-funding requirements on local governments.
