Studying Subnational Policy Making Symposium

Studying Subnational Policy Making

This symposium, “Studying Subnational Policy Making,” brings together a number of scholars to examine important aspects of American political institutions and policy making below the national level. The papers are intended to be conceptual and lay out the opportunities and challenges that a subnational perspective holds for the research endeavor. The authors will cover important substantive and theoretical topics including representation, executive politics, interest groups, and delegation, as well as methodologies (experiments and dynamics latent-variable models) for studying important topics like policy responsiveness.
