Abstract
This paper reviews the statistical literature on the effects of money on voter initiative and referendum campaigns. It discusses the main findings in the literature and identifies the shortcomings in statistical methods and results. It then discusses how one might approach these shortcomings with a new research design, with specific reference to work by Professor Thomas Stratmann.
期刊介绍:
Established in 1927, the Southern California Law Review is an independent and autonomous entity. Matters of policy, procedure and content are determined solely by the Editorial Board. All decision making authority is delegated by the Dean of the law school to the Editor-in-Chief. The EIC, in turn, delegates various responsibilities to the Editorial Board and the Staff. Each year the Law Review publishes one volume, which is produced in six separate issues. Each issue normally contains several articles written by outside contributors and several notes written by Southern California Law Review staff members.
