Electoral support and the capture of legislators: evidence from North Carolina's vote on radioactive waste disposal

Article Abstract:

Results of a study of legislator voting on the Southeast Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Compact in North Carolina have rejected G. Stigler and S. Peltzman's theory of economic regulation, which states that secure legislators exhibit a different behavior from insecure legislators. Results showed that the support legislators expect to receive in their reelection bids significantly affects the way they vote for the economic interests of their constituents.
