The mechanisms of policy diffusion (2008, background): “More specifically, two of our policy areas—government buildings and restaurants—are generally classified by public health scholars as clean indoor air laws, since they tend to be spurred by concerns over the health effects suffered by nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke.”
Using Geographic Information Systems to Study Interstate Competition (2005, background): “…S is in the shaded region by virtue of being within D miles of nearby (but non-neighboring) state W. 2 Most other studies of benefit competition also measure welfare benefits in real dollars (e.g., Bailey and Rom 2004; Figlio, Koplin, and Reid 1999; Rom, Peterson, and Scheve 1998; Saavedra 2000).”
Representation in Municipal Government (2014, background): “In addition, cities face constraints due to economic competition from other jurisdictions (Bailey and Rom 2004; Ladd and Yinger 1989; Peterson 1981; Rae 2003).”
