The Spread of Symbolic Policies: Juneteenth, Interests, and Representation in the U.S. States
Decades of policy diffusion research support the notion that governments’ policy adoptions are conditional on other governments’ policy choices. However, the theory of policy diffusion has only been tested on substantive rather than symbolic policies. This is surprising because ceremonial bills and resolutions can comprise a sizable portion of legislation proposed and passed by national and subnational governments. We leverage the spread of Junet…
The Unseen Scars of Experiential Learning: Secondary Trauma in Political Science Internships
Public service internships are a staple in contemporary political science curricula. Research shows that internships produce better thinkers, employees, and citizens. Yet, political science interns are on the frontlines in observing the firsthand trauma, stress, and mental health challenges of many people seeking support and services from government. In turn, students may internalize this stress and trauma, a phenomenon recognized as secondary tr…
The Correlates of State Policy and the Structure of State Panel Data
The American states offer a wealth of variation across time and space to understand the sources, dynamics, and consequences of public policy. As laboratories of socioeconomic and political differences, they enable both wide-scale assessments of change and studies of specific policy choices. To leverage this potential, we constructed and integrated a database of thousands of state-year variables for designing and executing social research: the Cor…
Private Investment and Public Redevelopment: The Case of New Markets Tax Credits
The U.S. federal government has increasingly relied on tax incentives to leverage private investment to spur economic redevelopment in poor communities. One such popular program is the New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC), established by the U.S. Congress in 2000. Community development entities transfer NMTC tax credits to private investors in exchange for equity and capital investments in qualifying projects in low‐income census tracts. Despite its po…
On the Power or Vulnerability of the British Press: A Dynamic Analysis
The existence of fairly strong correlations between newspaper readership and socio-political variables is well known. The interesting question about these correlations is not whether they exist but why they exist. In their analysis of British political behaviour in the sixties, Butler and Stokes put forward three possible explanations
