Citations in the corpus

• Votes or Money? Theory and Evidence from the US Congress (2008, unknown): “(11)Baldwin and Magee (1998), Stratmann (2002) (12)Ansolabehere et al. (2003) report a number of studies that have found mixed results in support of this hypothesis.”
• Aggregate and Idiosyncratic Political Risk: Measurement and Effects (2016, unknown): “…pervasive in the US political system (Milyo et al. (2000)), engaged in mostly by large corporations and industry associations (De Figueiredo (2004); Ansolabehere et al. (2002); Richter et al. (2009); Hill et al. (2013)), and aimed at issues with bigger potential payoffs for the interested…”
• Do Interest Groups Affect U.S. Immigration Policy? (2008, background): “This result is consistent with the political science literature and may suggest that PAC contributions are integral to groups’ lobbying efforts and that they allow them to gain access to policymakers (Tripathi, Ansolabehere, and Snyder 2002).”
• Corporate Lobbying Revisited (2008, background): “That is, the access-influence hypothesis says that contributing and lobbying are complementary activities in that contributions can only buy access to the legislator’s door and lobbying is aimed at bringing in policy changes (e.g., Wright 1990, Austen-Smith 1995, Tripathi et al. 2002).”
• Does Private Money Buy Public Policy? Campaign Contributions and Regulatory Outcomes in Telecommunications (2005, background): “However, as we suspect corporate contributions are highly correlated with lobbying ( Ansolabehere, Snyder and Tripathi 2002 ) contribution data should be a good proxy for all non -market activity by corporations.”
