The reciprocal relationship between state defense interest and committee representation in Congress
Party and Committee in Distributive Politics
Recent studies of the domestic distribution of military procurement expenditures and representation on congressional defense committees support the traditional committee-centered distributive theory of congressional policymaking in a manner consistent with the assumption that Congress is organized to produce gains from exchange among legislators with diverse interests via intercommittee logrolling. This paper compares the committee-centered distr…

The Distributive Politics of Cold War Defense Spending
Although the paradigm of distributive politics dominates legislative studies (Krehbiel 1992), empirical studies have produced negative, inconsistent, or mixed findings on the relationship between the organization of legislatures and the distribution of various policy benefits, particularly military procurement expenditures. This paper reconsiders the distributive theory in the light of panel data on the distribution of military contracts among st…

Bill Construction in Legislative Committees
This paper reports on a study of the construction of several House bills during recent congresses, using publicly available data. The analysis focuses on the role of bill entrepreneurs and formal leaders in influencing the bill construction process in committee. An empirical study of preferences included, excluded, and modified in six House bills reveals that, on the first version of the bill considered in committee, all of the entrepreneur's pre…
The effect of misperception on strategic behavior in legislative settings
A Revised Theory of Winning in House-Senate Conferences
The question, “Who wins in House-Senate conferences?” has largely been answered for recent Congresses. But the question, “Why does the Senate win?” has not been adequately answered. The research reported here presents and tests some necessary conditions of a theory that provides an answer to this question. The Senate wins because it is most frequently the second acting chamber and, because it has constitutionally derived power over House decision…
Corrupt Politicians and Their Electoral Support
This paper concerns the relationship between voters and corrupt politicians. An explanation is suggested for why voters would discount even credible information that a candidate is corrupt. Then the results of an experiment designed to test a necessary condition in this explanation are reported. The principal implication of this exploratory study is that corrupt elected officials are immune from electoral reprisal because voters rather easily tra…
An Interrupted Time-Series Test of the Distributive Theory of Military Policy-Making
IN RECENT years several researchers have reported negative findings regarding the hypothesis that constituencies represented on the standing military committees in Congress benefit disproportionately from the distribution of military procurement expenditures.l Their findings suggest that whether or not a constituency is represented on the congressional military committees makes no difference in the amount of military procurement awards it receive…
