The Impact of Public Financing on Electoral Competition: Evidence from Arizona and Maine
The Impact of Public Financing on Electoral Competition: Evidence from Arizona and Maine Neil Malhotra, Stanford University abstract Does complete public financing of campaigns enhance electoral competition? Ari- zona and Maine implemented similar clean elections programs for state-level races in 2000, providing an opportunity to examine the consequences of public financing. Employing two measures of competitiveness, I find that clean elections programs in both states significantly increased competition in districts where challengers accepted public funding. These findings suggest that public monies do not simply attract low- quality challengers and that access to campaign funds is an important determinant of competitiveness. As a result, while public financing programs are not panaceas for uncompetitive elections, such programs can enhance competition in races where money is accepted. for over thirty years, advocates of government reform have pushed for public financing of elections in the United States in hopes of reducing the influence of money in American politics. Clean elections laws at the state and local level generally allow candidates to use taxpayer dollars to fund their campaigns in exchange for accepting spending limits and forgoing private contributions. Supporters of public financing present two broad benefits of such laws. First, they argue that public financing reduces both the amount of money that individual candidates need to raise from outside interest groups and the overall level of campaign expenditures (Center for Governmental Studies 2003). In principle, officials elected under clean elections programs would not need to dole out favors to pay back their supporters and would instead pass legislation designed to aid the public interest, not special interests. -

Michelson2, Todd Rogers3, and Ali Adam Valenzuela4 Abstract Dale and Strauss’s (DS) noticeable reminder theory (NRT) of voter mobili- zation posits that mobilization efforts that are highly noticeable and salient to potential voters, even if impersonal, can be successful. In an innovative experimental design, DS show that text messages substantially boost turnout, challenging previous claims that social connectedness is the key to increasing participation. -

(Mis)Perceptions of Partisan Polarization in the American Public
Public Opinion Quarterly Advance Access published October 29, 2015 Public Opinion Quarterly (MIS)PERCEPTIONS OF PARTISAN POLARIZATION IN THE AMERICAN PUBLIC MATTHEW S. LEVENDUSKY* NEIL MALHOTRA Downloaded from Abstract Few topics in public opinion research have attracted as much attention in recent years as partisan polarization in the American mass public. Yet, there has been considerably less investigation into http://poq.oxfordjournals.org/ whether people perceive the electorate to be polarized and the pat- terns of these perceptions. Building on work in social psychology, we argue that Americans perceive more polarization with respect to policy issues than actually exists, a phenomenon known as false polarization. Data from a nationally representative probability sample and a novel estimation strategy to make inferences about false polarization show that people significantly misperceive the public to be more divided along partisan lines than it is in reality. Also, people’s misperceptions at University of Pennsylvania Library on October 29, 2015 of opposing partisans are larger than those about their own party. We discuss the implications of these empirical patterns for American elec- toral politics. Scholarly debate over mass partisan polarization1 in the American public has been extensive in recent years (see Fiorina and Abrams [2008] for a review). An important, related topic that has received less attention is whether Americans perceive themselves to be polarized along partisan lines. Social psychologists have documented a phenomenon known as “false polarization” (e.g., Pronin, Matthew S.

The Economic Consequences of Partisanship in a Polarized Era Christopher McConnell Stanford Graduate School of Business Yotam Margalit Tel Aviv University Neil Malhotra Stanford Graduate School of Business Matthew Levendusky University of Pennsylvania Abstract: With growing affective polarization in the United States, partisanship is increasingly an impediment to cooperation in political settings. But does partisanship also affect behavior in nonpolitical settings? We show evidence that it does, demonstrating its effect on economic outcomes across a range of experiments in real-world environments. A field experiment in an online labor market indicates that workers request systematically lower reservation wages when the employer shares their political stance, reflecting a preference to work for co-partisans. We conduct two field experiments with consumers and find a preference for dealing with co-partisans, especially among those with strong partisan attachments. Finally, via a population-based, incentivized survey experiment, we find that the influence of political considerations on economic choices extends also to weaker partisans. Whereas earlier studies show the political consequences of polarization in American politics, our findings suggest that partisanship spills over beyond the political, shaping cooperation in everyday economic behavior.
