Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sharp increase of corporate money in politics has raised concerns that it leads to policies that benefit capital and harm labor. We examine this claim using the surprise Supreme Court ruling Citizens United v. FEC (2010), which rendered bans on political spending unconstitutional, affecting roughly half of US states (treated states). In a difference-in-difference analysis, we find that treated states have experienced increases in both capital and labor income. These effects are consistent with money in politics increasing political competition and leading to policies that represent the interests of a broader set of constituents. In support of this mechanism, we find that, first, political contributions rise among a broad set of constituents rather than concentrate in historically politically active groups. In response, we find increased political turnover among governors and state legislators. Second, state legislatures become less polarized, suggesting that newly-elected politicians vote in favor of policies relevant for a broader set of constituents. Third, labor outcomes improve more in ex-ante politically inactive firms. Finally, affected states see lighter regulatory burdens. On net, the economic environment becomes more growth-friendly, and some of these gains are passed on to workers.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":7257,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"event_start_date":"2022-10-11 12:15:00","event_end_date":"2022-10-11 13:30:00","event_speaker_name":"Professor Tania Babina","event_speaker_link":"","event_is_online":false,"event_location":"Building F, Room F2.13, 2nd Floor","event_street":"8xav福利导航 of Luxembourg 6 Rue Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi","event_location_link":"","event_zip_code":"1359","event_city":"Luxembourg","event_country":"LU"},"events-topic":[301],"events-type":[],"organisation":[116],"authorship":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nDF Lunch Seminar Professor Tania Babina, Colombia 8xav福利导航 - FDEF events I Uni.lu<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Abstract: The sharp increase of corporate money in politics has raised concerns that it leads to policies that benefit capital and harm labor.
