Corporate Political Strategy and Legislative Decision Making
研究评估了企业政治行动委员会捐款、选民建设、高管游说等五种政治活动对立法决策的影响，发现基于公共选择理论的选民中心模型得到支持。
This research assesses the relative impact on legislative decision making of several prevalent types of corporate political activities: political action committee (PAC) contributions, constituency building, executive lobbying, use of professional lobbyists, and advocacy advertising. Two separate groups of expert informants provided data on both the usage and the effectiveness of these different influence tactics. The results indicate convergent support for constituency-centered models of legislative decision making that are based on public choice theory. Further research is suggested to explore how, when, and why firms implement different mixes of these activities and what determines the effectiveness of the overall political strategies that result.
