Redistribution policies initiated by self-interested rent seekers require taxpayer approval. Even if taxpayers are fully informed, their resistance to inefficient schemes is reduced when public sector schemes are the only means available to pursue altruistic goals. Altruism serves to broaden the scope within which rent seekers may operate. A discussion of international "tied” aid illustrates the impact which rent seeking can exert on public sector "charity.” Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996 Public Choice Kluwer Academic Publishers; gopher://gopher.wkap.nl 86/3-4(1996-03-01), 359-378 0048-5829 86:3-4<359 1996 86 11127 https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00136526 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00136526 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Jones Philip School of Social Sciences, University of Bath, Claverton Down, BA2 7AY, Bath, U.K aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Public Choice Kluwer Academic Publishers; gopher://gopher.wkap.nl/ 86/3-4(1996-03-01), 359-378 0048-5829 86:3-4<359 1996 86 11127 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
