| | The president further dismissed any suggestions that independence should not be an option in dealing with China, saying such a contention would mean denying the people freedom of choice, in violation of popular sovereignty. | | | The federation consists of pro-independence groups from around the world dedicated to the establishment of a free, democratic and independent Republic of Taiwan. | | | Rather, he told a crowd of overseas Taiwanese via teleconference, the Republic of China "is" Taiwan and any attempt to alter the status quo must obtain approval from its 23 million people. |

| | Public choice theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Public choice theory is a branch of economics that studies the decision-making behavior of voters, politicians and government officials from the perspective of economic theory, namely game theory and decision theory. | | | Public choice theory is commonly associated with universities in Virginia, most notably George Mason University and the University of Virginia, where Tullock and Buchanan first worked in developing the theory. | | | Public choice theory may also be referred to as rational choice theory, positive political theory, social choice theory, and political economic theory. |

| | Public choice theory, however, would suggest that since government funds would be collected and distributed through the political process, it is important to consider the incentives of the agents involved in the process when examining the consequences of federal funding of science. | | | Public choice theory has made a valuable contribution to our understanding of public policy. | | | In our judgment, the continuing presence of a source of tension between researchers and administrators at universities is not, we believe, symptomatic of good science policy, and is an example of an unintended policy consequence predicted by public choice theory. |

| | Facts about topic: (Public choice theory) |
| | In the public choice theory, such scenarios of inefficient government policies are referred to as government failure -- a term akin to the market failure (additional info and facts about market failure) scenarios familiar from the traditional economic theory. | | | A noted critic of extreme public choice theory and another winner of the Nobel prize in economics is the economist Amartya Sen (additional info and facts about Amartya Sen), who considers public choice theory misused too often in simplified form, describing government officials as only self-interested (additional info and facts about self-interested). | | | Wittman's conclusion is that the political market in reality works at an efficiency level comparable to that of the economic markets and that the public choice theory does not present a serious challenge to democracy. |

| | Introduction to Public Choice Theory |
| | Public Choice Theory is directed toward the study of politics based on ecomonic principles. | | | It is the behaviour of public sector bureaucrats which is at the heart of public choice theory. | | | Public Choice has much to say about the use of rent-seeking, which is the act of obtaining special treatment by the government at the expense of the rest of us. |

| | The subject matter of public choice is the same as that of political science: the theory of the state, voting r ules, voting behavior, party politics, the bureaucracy and so on. | | | This theory would strike many lay observers as plausible, yet it is not rational as economists have used that term."31 At this point, it is probably fair to conclude that public choice theory is fundamentally flawed and should be rejected. | | | The basic behavioral postulate of public choice, as for economics, is that man is an egoistic, rational, utility maximizer."2 Having said that, it is important to recognize that there is no formal, agreed upon definition of public choice. |

| | Public choice theory is a branch of economics that developed from the study of taxation and public spending. | | | One of the chief underpinnings of public choice theory is the lack of incentives for voters to monitor government effectively. | | | Public choice economists make the same assumption—that although people acting in the political marketplace have some concern for others, their main motive, whether they are voters, politicians, lobbyists, or bureaucrats, is self-interest. |

| | Public Choice theory says that while the omniscient social welfare maximizer may be a normative model of how goverment ought to behave, it is not an accurate positive model of how government will behave. | | | The final layer is what in economics is known as Public Choice Theory, which says that it is unrealistic to expect government officials to be wise and benevolent, given that they themselves are mere mortals with human desires and human flaws. | | | Here is Public Choice theory boiled down to three sentences, by 'Jane Galt'. |

| | Public choice theory is a branch of economics that studies the decision-making behavior of voters, politicians and government officials from the perspective of economic theory. | | | One of the basic insights that underlie the public choice theory is that good government policies in a democracy are an underprovided public good, because of the rational ignorance of the voters. | | | Economist James M. Buchanan won the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences for his work on public choice theory in 1986. |

| | Succeeding chapters discuss the definition of "public" advanced in Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann's "spiral of silence" theory of public opinion; elaborate on the notion of "public" and the Arrow problem; and apply the theorems derived from Noelle-Neumann's theory to the three "paradoxes" of public choice. | | | He also shows that no procedure may consistently define the "public" realm implied by the term "public choice." To illustrate this problem, the author scrutinizes three "paradoxes" of public choice: Arrow's General Possibility theorem, Olson's logic of collective action, and Barry's problem of legitimizing responsive choice procedures. | | | In Chapter 1, the author shows that no public choice procedure may distinguish consistently between public and private issues, public and private goods, and public and private decision rules. |

| | Public Choice Theory: Not the Whole Story |
| | If public servants were to become convinced that the promotion of some popular project is indeed not a proper government activity in the first place, then despite what they might do in circumstances which are not governed by this "ideological" consideration, they could come to behave very differently from what public choice theory predicts. | | | The reason this is obscured and why public choice theory is only now adjusting itself to the insight is that the welfare state is structurally incapable of facilitating the serving of a distinct public interest when it implies by its scope that no distinction between public and private concerns exists. | | | And public choice theorists take this view into the special area of understanding the behavior of public officials by asserting, as a corollary of general economic analysis, that not only do we do this as shoppers, bankers, merchants, corporate executives, brokers, and the like, but also as "public" servants. |
