| ''The effect of post-election asymmetry information possibility on pre-election policy platform choices'' |

| In this paper, we examine the effect of a possibility of post-election information asymmetry between voters and candidates on pre-election policy platform choices by candidates. We show that this possibility may lead candidates to over commit during election campaign, which may contribute to an ex post moral hazard problem. |
