“…I have probably missed some studies like these. Finally, I note that PBCs, explicitly related or not to Nordhaus (1975), have been investigated in somewhat exotic areas (compared to economics): Wasserman (1983) in relation to suicides, Nincic (1990) and Gaubatz (1991) in international relations, Shughart and Tollison (1985), Lagona and Padovano (2008) and Brechler and Gersl (2014) in legislative activity, Block and Vaaler (2004) in ratings published by agencies, Thies and Porche (2007) in agricultural producer protection, Ladewig (2008) in the housing market, Horgos and Zimmermann (2010) in the activity of interest groups, Kachelein et al (2011) in electricity supply, and Wehner (2013) in legislative budgetary decisions. Unusual applications in the economic area include Paiva (1996) on prices in regulated industries, Castro and Veiga (2004) on the timing of stabilization programs, Dreher and Vaubel (2004) on credits from the IMF and IBRD, Ozatay (2007) on public sector prices, Faye and Niehaus (2012) on foreign aid, Sukhtankar (2012) on prices paid to farmers for sugar cane, Lami, et al (2014) on household consumption spending, and Klien (2014) on water tariffs.…”
