ILO (Information and Legislative Organization)
Main Point
:
Underlying structure is not optimized for re-election incentive of distribution; instead, optimized for specialization and information flow. Microlevel: members are short on resources and need leverage to get things done, so committee system develops expertise and floor trusts committee. Also MCs need information to predict outcome of policy options. Preference Outliers can specialize at lower costs. Closed rules (commitments) used only when information efficiciency outweights distributional losses (i.e., specialist and non-outlying/heterog. committees).
Connections
:
Informational/specialization rather than 'gains from trade' of weingast/marshall (1988). See Hayek (1945) for importance of distributive information aggregation.
