This paper studies the role of political (dis)integration in the determination of economic performance. It presents a model in which firms interact in both the economic market, where they compete for market share, and in the political market, where they compete for transfers from the government. The authors argue that competition has positive effects in both markets, inducing cost-reducing technological innovation and making rent seeking less convenient.
