This paper develops a canonical model of deliberative democracy as part of a policy process. It studies how deliberation affects incentives and behaviour in three contexts: (i) compliance with policies (ii) equilibrium policy choices in a representative democracy and (iii) incentives to protest. The paper explores whether there are welfare gains from increased deliberation and how these depend on changes in equilibrium behaviour.
