After a brief survey of the related literature, we focus on the impact of the features of the political system on rent-seeking activities. Since the European nations experience a common trend of reductions in the national markets protections and face various situations of protections, they provide a suitable empirical material for a cross-country study. Using the OECD measure about the change of national market?s protections within the European Economic Area, we show results of rent-seeking activities are changed by the political and institutional national context. And these changes are different in accordance with the internal or external dimension of the protections. %G English %L hal-02978473 %U https://sciencespo.hal.science/hal-02978473 %~ SHS %~ SCIENCESPO %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-STRASBG %~ AO-SCIENCEPOLITIQUE %~ SITE-ALSACE %~ DALLOZ %~ CEE
