Pages and their treatment at the US Congress are in the news (just as interns at the White House were in a previous administration). Don Boudreaux at Cafe Hayek points out how pages and interns at the centre of American power have a unique opportunity to see what Stephen Hicks describes as "public choice economics in action."
(For those unfamiliar with public choice theory, here's a primer.)

I wondered if the "Public choice theory" is the same one as "Discrete Choice Model" (DCM) theory , but perhaps worded slightly different ?
ReplyDeleteBy reading the web page for "Public choice theory" it does look similar to the description of DCM.
