Impact of Money in Politics on Political Elites and Institutions

Session Description
In this panel, we present cutting-edge research on the patterns and impact of various strands of money in politics, ranging from small individual donors, issue PACs, fundraising events, donors expressing themselves via witness slips, and budgetary decline of bureaucratic agencies. The authors find how these impact election outcomes, campaign rhetoric, estimates of ideology, roll call votes, and turnover of bureaucratic officials.
