在本文中，我讨论了政治经济学的最新发展。通过关注该学科的微观经济方面，我对政治经济学的四个基本机构（选民、政治家、政党和政府）的当前研究进行了概述。对于这些主题，我确定并讨论了一些在文献中提出和解决的突出问题，提出了一些程式化的模型和例子，并总结了主要的理论发现。此外，我描述了可用的数据，回顾了相关的实证证据，并讨论了政治经济学实证研究的一些挑战。
In this paper, I discuss recent developments in political economy. By focusing on the microeconomic side of the discipline, I present an overview of current research on four of the fundamental institutions of a political economy: voters, politicians, parties and governments. For each of these topics, I identify and discuss some of the salient questions that have been posed and addressed in the literature, present some stylized models and examples, and summarize the main theoretical findings. Furthermore, I describe the available data, review the relevant empirical evidence, and discuss some of the challenges for empirical research in political economy.
