Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This study tries to exploit two aspects of the American antebellum period (1789-1860) to test the predictions of the selectorate theory, a recent contribution to the comparative politics literature. While the federal government was largely absent from actively promoting economic development during this period, state and local governments, in aggregate terms, spent relatively immense sums on infrastructure and other public goods. Yet, the timing and the amounts invested varied greatly across the states. Large variance also existed across the states in the degree to which they were democratic, as did the timing with which states democratized (if they did so at all). Using a minimum winning coalition size approach to measure institutional variability, I attempt to empirically exploit and measure the effect of political and institutional variation across and within states over time on observed policy decisions and outcomes.
