英文摘要:
Presidential debates are viewed as providing an important public good by revealing information on candidates to voters. We consider an endogenous model of presidential debates in which an incumbent and a challenger (who is privately informed about her own quality) publicly announce whether they are willing to participate in a public debate, taking into account that a voter\'s choice of candidate depends on her beliefs regarding the candidates\' qualities and on the state of nature.It is found that in equilibrium a debate occurs or does not occur independently of the challenger\'s quality and therefore the candidates\' announcements are uninformative. This is because opting-out is perceived to be worse than losing a debate and therefore the challenger never refuses to participate.

中文摘要:
总统辩论被视为向选民透露候选人信息,从而提供重要的公共利益。考虑到选民对候选人的选择取决于她对候选人素质的信念和自然状态,我们考虑一种内生总统辩论模式,其中现任总统和挑战者(私下了解自己的素质)公开宣布是否愿意参加公开辩论。研究发现,在均衡状态下,辩论的发生或不发生与挑战者的素质无关,因此候选人的声明不具信息性。这是因为选择退出比输掉一场辩论更糟糕,因此挑战者从不拒绝参加。
