Three essays on money in politics in the United States
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- I study democratic representation and accountability in the United States with a focus on campaign finance. My dissertation uses large panel data sets of campaign donors to examine what motivates campaign donors to give money, and the implications of their campaign contributions for three different aspects of American politics: 1) interest groups (how do the partisan preferences of individual group members constrain interest groups' ability to buy political favors with PAC contributions?), 2) political extremism (how did localized exposure to the subprime mortgage crisis affect Republican donors' support for the Tea Party movement?), and 3) electoral accountability (how much can voters learn about candidates' issue-specific positions based on who donate to these candidates?).
