Determining an Industry's Political Effectiveness with the U.S. International Trade Commission
研究行业在美国国际贸易委员会中的政治策略和战术，发现集体行动成本较低的行业更容易获得委员的肯定裁决。
This study extends previous empirical work on the payoffs associated with an industry's political investments by examining the political strategies and tactics employed by industries involved with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). In using a comprehensive framework of regulatory decision making to analyze the ITC's decision-making process, the authors also find that industries facing relatively low costs of collective action are able to secure affirmative decisions from ITC commissioners.
