DESCRIPTION:Political campaigns influence how voters prioritize issues\, wh
 ich in turn impacts electoral outcomes. In this paper\, we study how candid
 ates’ communication shapes which issues prevail during the campaign\, thr
 ough which mechanisms\, and to what extent. We develop an electoral competi
 tion model with two candidates\, each endowed with exogenous platforms and 
 characteristics. Candidates allocate strategically their communication time
  across two issues to maximize their expected vote shares. We find that whe
 n one candidate holds similar comparative advantages on both issues\, the d
 isadvantaged candidate communicate on a single issue to saturate the campai
 gn with one topic and then increases the randomness of the election. The ad
 vantaged candidate has the opposite incentive and communicate on both issue
 s\, creating an asymmetry in the campaign. We show that in some cases\, the
  campaign can become entirely centered on a single issue.\\n\\nContact: Hou
