Abstract

This study offers survey evidence that measures the diffusion of the rent-seeking concept within principles of economics textbooks and classrooms. Data from 18 widely used, mainstream principles textbooks and survey data from students at three large, public universities in the South suggest that dissemination of this concept has been largely successful overall. Future research should concentrate on larger sample sizes and more control variables, as pointed out within the study.
