Abstract: We analyze how the structure of organizational form of legislative institutions affects
interest groups ’incentives to lobby.Lobbying is modelled the strategic provision
of information by an interest group to a multi-person legislature.We show that
the effectiveness of lobbying lies in changing the viable policy coalitions.We show
in a multi-period policy framework that a distinguishing feature between the US
Congress and European parliamentary systems —the vote of confidence procedure —
can significantly change the incentives for interest group lobbying.
