The mechanisms of policy diffusion (2008, background): “These studies have focused on the diffusion of a range of policies, including same-sex marriage bans (Haider-Markel 2001), education reform (Mintrom 1997a), abortion (Mooney and Lee 1995), the death penalty (Mooney and Lee 1999), and HMO reforms (Balla 2001), among many others.”
Back to the Future: Modeling Time Dependence in Binary Data (2010, background): “A reanalysis of Palmer, London and Regan (2004) reveals much more severe quasi-complete separation issues, with 19 of 39 dummies and 672 of 2975 observations dropped as a result. Clark and Hart (1998) essentially perform a robustness check for the findings of Lemke and Reed (1996) by adding time dum”
Internal and External Antecedents of Process Innovation: A review and extension (2014, background): “External communication through professional associations has been shown to lead to the adoption of innovation in studies of US states, the model laws and the knowledge transfer systems (Walker, 1969; Balla, 2001; Rashman and Radnor, 2005).”
Ideology and Learning in Policy Diffusion (2004, methodology): “We incorporate the factors identified in previous studies and generate new hypotheses (Mintrom, 1997; Mintrom & Vergari, 1996) to add to the literature examining electricity regulation (Ka & Teske, 2002), welfare policy (Barrilleaux, Holbrook, & Langer, 2002; Soss, Schram, Vartanian, & O’Brien, 2001”
Exploring The Diffusion Of Innovation Among High And Low Innovative Localities (2011, background): “This framework has been empirically tested, primarily with state policy data in the USA, though other national and international studies have been conducted (see, for example, Balla 2001 ; Nicholson-Crotty 2004 ; Weyland 2004 ).”
A Formal Model of Learning and Policy Diffusion (2008, background): “These effects might represent the policy’s degree of effectiveness or its actual budgetary cost, although for simplicity we describe it as “effectiveness” throughout.”
Street-level policy entrepreneurship (2015, background): “Balla (2001) inferred successful policy entrepreneurship when insurance commissioners encouraged their states to adopt model HMO legislation.”
