Abstract:
|
State legislators were surveyed and asked how much influence campaign contributions have on the content and passage of legislation in their chamber. A hierarchical Bayesian model was used to control for perceptual bias at the individual level while testing hypotheses that explain the varying influence of campaign contributions across chambers. Specifically, legislative compensation, constituency population, majority party control of the legislative agenda, the costs of campaigning for office, tied chambers, powerful lieutenant governors and the education level of constituencies are all determinants of the influence of campaign contributions influence the content and passage of legislation. |
