Culture, constituency, and economic decline: Explaining state development policy choices

This dissertation examines variations in state economic development policies in order to explain how economic and political factors combine to cause such differences. The introductory chapter examines prior research on state economic development (the dependent variable), and on comparative state politics. Chapter two discusses the methods used to measure both the dependent and independent variables, and outlines the methods of analysis for the study.
