Abstract
- The article presents a response on the comment made by Gordon Tullock about their article on the measure of the cost of rent-seeking in the U.S. They disagree on the observation of Tullock on the magnitude of the unobservable costs of political activity, which he apparently believes are enormous. They argued that hose deadweight costs may help limit the amount of potential transfers that are dissipated through rent-seeking activity. Other contentions relative to the matter are presented.
