DESCRIPTION:*During electoral campaigns\, candidates not only choose a plat
 form but also how much they communicate on different political issues. We i
 nvestigate a two-stage electoral competition model where candidates vary in
  their competences. They first choose their platform and then decide how th
 ey allocate their communication time\, the latter influencing how voters pe
 rceive the importance of each issue. We show that the relative differences 
 in candidates’ competences determine whether the campaign focus mostly on
  one dominant theme or span multiple issues.**While private funding is esse
 ntial for scientific progress\, its use by vested interests can compromise 
 the objectivity and advancement of research. Big Tobacco pioneered doubt-ma
 nufacturing strategies by funding many scientific projects to shape outcome
 s in its favor and counter adverse findings. While confidential documents r
 eveal its intent\, the impact of this funding on research remains unclear. 
 This study aims to provide the first causal analysis of the influence of Bi
 g Tobacco’s private funding on research agendas\, conclusions\, and quali
 ty. To do so\, I am constructing a comprehensive database of all research p
 rojects and researchers funded by Big Tobacco. The database includes detail
 s on scientific output\, career trajectories\, co-authorship networks\, and
  institutional affiliations. I plan to use a staggered difference-in-differ
 ences approach to assess the causal effects of this funding.\\n\\nContact:
