State Government Preemption of Local Government Decisions Through the State Courts
What factors are associated with state government preemption of local government policies? This research asks whether state courts limit local authority in areas in which local preferences differ from the state’s, and whether this is conditioned by the level of autonomy the state grants the local government. Using a newly constructed data set of 404 local governments that had local ordinances challenged in state courts between the years 1996 and …

Does Walkability Influence Housing Prices
Objective We examine the effects of neighborhood walkability on house values. Recent research claims that walkability makes homes more valuable, ceteris paribus. We contend that some studies report a spurious effect of walkability because of differences between areas with high and low walkability. Methods We replicate the positive effect of walkability on prices for single‐family homes and condominiums in Miami, Florida, using a unique data set o…
The Politics of Need: Examining Governors' Decisions to Oppose the “Obamacare” Medicaid Expansion
This article explains governors' decisions to support or oppose Medicaid expansions offered under the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. We theorize that governors' decisions to oppose the funding should depend on both political demands and the level of need in the state, though politics and need are often in tension. We find that governors' partisanship and the composition of the legislature have substantively meaningful effects on…
Social Insurance and Income Redistribution in a Laboratory Experiment
Why do some voters support income redistribution while others do not? Public assistance programs have two entangled effects on society: they equalize wealth, but they also cushion people against random catastrophes (like natural disasters). The authors conduct a laboratory experiment to determine how individuals’ responses to the environment are related to their self-expressed political ideology and their self-interest. The findings support the h…

The result of the United States system for providing health insurance and care is that some citizens receive an abundance of high-quality care while others receive care that is poor, hard to come by, or both. This state of affairs does not fairly reflect public opinion; when surveyed, the majority of citizens express support for…
Do Governors Matter? Budgeting Rules and the Politics of State Policymaking
Explaining State-Level Variations In Levels And Change In The Distribution Of Income In The United States, 1978-1990
Income concentrations increased markedly in the United States during the period since 1980. Income concentrations occurred within states at differing levels and rates. We estimate models that explain variations in levels of income concentration among states in 1980 and 1990 and of changes in state-level income concentration during the period 1978 to 1990. We test for the effects of state and national government redistributive policies along with …
Deservingness, Discretion, and the State Politics of Welfare Spending, 1990-96
Are the politics of welfare policy for the “deserving” and “undeserving” poor the same? We use pooled cross-sectional time-series analyses of state government discretionary welfare spending on general assistance (GA) and Supplemental Security Income supplements (SSI-S) to address this question. We find that efforts to assist the GA population decline as electoral competition increases while efforts to assist the SSI-S population increase, providi…
Do Governors Matter? Budgeting Rules and the Politics of State Policymaking
Whether and how governors influence public policies in the U.S. is open to question. This research tests a model of gubernatorial influence on public policymaking in which gubernatorial power is conceived of the governor’s power over the budgetary process relative to that of the state legislature. We argue that governors with greater control over the budget process will use those powers to deliver a higher proportion of policies that confer benef…

Party Strength, Party Change and Policy-Making in the American States
This research tests the effects of changing party strength on the representativeness of policy-making in American state legislatures. Building upon research initially presented by Robert Erikson, Gerald Wright and John McIver, it shows that Democrat-dominated state legislatures produce public policies that are more liberal and more consistent with the ideological positions of their constituents when they are faced with increased Republican party …

A Test of the Independent Influences of Electoral Competition and Party Strength in a Model of State Policy-Making
Theory: Theories of party government suggest that party strength and electoral competition have unique and independent influences on policy-making. Hypotheses: District-level electoral competition leads to increased public policy liberalism; greater liberalism among the public leads to the enactment of more liberal public policies; more liberal legislatures enact more liberal public policies; and the percentage of Democrats in a state legislature…

The Political Economy of State Medicaid Policy
We develop and test a market-based model to explain variations in states' welfare medicine policy decisions. The empirical results support the model of state policy outputs, indicating that states' spending efforts for welfare medicine are most sensitive to the supply of services within their borders. We learn in addition that spending effort declines with demand for services, indicating that the states spending the highest proportions of total p…

A Dynamic Model of Partisan Competition in the American States
survey-based research on state politics demonstrates considerable change in the characteristics, attitudes, and party allegiances of state electorates and of change in state party organizations. A multivariate linear model of partisan competition is estimated dynamically using as predictor variables measures of change in the size, composition, and characteristics of state populations and measures of characteristics of state party systems. The res…
Motivating Government Managers for Retrenchment: Some Possible Lessons from the Senior Executive Service
In the past five years, two issues, civil service reform and cutback management, have emerged as major areas of interest in public administration. Although the issues are clearly related, they are rarely discussed in tandem.' Cutback management has been analyzed most often in political terms: What options are available to political decision makers in a time of fiscal retrenchment? What kinds of political strains are placed upon the system when th…
