- Can You Find It on the Web? An Assessment of Municipal E-Government Transparency (2017, background): “Frequently, managers look to the practices of nearby or peer cities for cues and signals of best practices (Shipan & Volden, 2008).”
- Innovations in climate policy: the politics of invention, diffusion, and evaluation (2014, background): “Drawing on the policy transfer literature (Benson and Jordan 2011), policy diffusion researchers have used the triad of learning, competition and coercion to explore what motivates states to emulate one another (Shipan and Volden 2008, 2012).”
- Kindred spirits or intergovernmental competition? The innovation and diffusion of energy policies in the American states (1990–2008) (2014, background): “External factors include social learning, economic competition, imitation, or coercion (Shipan and Volden 2008).”
- Problems (and solutions) in the measurement of policy diffusion mechanisms (2015, background): “Each argument refers to a different type of interdependence and constitutes a distinct diffusion mechanism – learning, emulation and competition (Braun and Gilardi 2006; Shipan and Volden 2006, 2008; Simmons et al. 2006; Dobbin et al. 2007).”
- Climate policy innovation in the South – Domestic and international determinants of renewable energy policies in developing and emerging countries (2014, background): “Apart from the three horizontal diffusion mechanisms of competition, learning and emulation there is also a vertical diffusion mechanism: coercion by more powerful actors (Dobbin et al., 2007; Shipan and Volden, 2008; Simmons et al., 2006).”
- The politics of policy diffusion (2019, background): “A cornerstone of the diffusion literature is the distinction between learning, competition, coercion, and emulation (Braun and Gilardi, 2006; Simmons et al., 2006; Shipan and Volden, 2008; Gilardi, 2012).”
- Climate policy innovation:The adoption and diffusion of adaptation policies across Europe (2014, background): “Another driver for policy adoption and diffusion is the notion that states compete with each other for the most innovative policies in order to achieve some form of economic advantage (Shipan and Volden, 2008; Berry and Berry, 2007).”
