Thus, I developed a model in which parties compete by taking position in a two-dimensional space and by simultaneously allocating their issue emphasis optimally. The results demonstrate that equilibria exist, and that they tend to be unique.

With this paper I seek to address a persistent gap in the formal literature on political competition: We know a lot about parties’ equilibrium policy positions, but not much about equilibrium salience levels.
