The implementation of political reforms has been shifting from national governments to European institutions. The fragmentation of power among these institutions provides special interest groups with multiple opportunities for exerting political influence. Lobbying in Brussels is a pervasive phenomenon, but its economic and political consequences are not yet well understood. This project gathers data and develops econometric techniques for quantitatively assessing the private returns to lobbying, its implications on welfare and its impact on the political acceptance of EU reforms among the electorate. The application will focus on carbon trading, Europe’s flagship environmental policy instrument.

政治改革的实施已经从各国政府转向欧洲机构。这些机构之间权力的分散为特殊利益集团提供了施加政治影响的多种机会。在布鲁塞尔，游说是一种普遍现象，但其经济和政治后果尚未得到很好的理解。该项目收集数据并开发计量经济学技术，用于定量评估游说的私人回报、其对福利的影响及其对选民对欧盟改革的政治接受度的影响。该申请将侧重于欧洲的旗舰环境政策工具——碳交易。
