"Entry into Electoral Races and the Quality of Representation" Abstract U.S. Congressmen are very likely to be reelected and survey evidence suggests that voters are satisfied with their representatives.

We then investigate asymptotics of ruin probabilities when claim distribution is worsening over time, due to phenomena like sectorial inflation…
