Government Formation as Logrolling: Modeling Cabinet Formation in European Multiparty Systems

How do European coalition governments agree on a common platform across a wide range of issues?  Professor de Marchi’s talk will develop a model of European government formation as a form of logrolling between party leaders who have different views of the relative importance of the same issues.  Professor de Marchi’s work focuses on mathematical models of decision-making across a variety of contexts.  He has published widely in leading political science journals, including American Political Science Review, British Journal of Political Science, American Journal of Political Science, and Journal of Politics, as well as books published by Penguin and Cambridge University Press.

Discussant: Dimitar Gueorguiev, Assistant Professor of Political Science

Lunch will be provided.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
