My co-authored paper just came out in @pspolisci.bsky.social! It provides the first causal evidence of NIMBYism in American immigration attitudes: Americans tend to oppose any immigrants who are expected to move into their neighborhoods. Both Democrats and Republicans hold this NIMBYism. #polisky

We conduct a conjoint experiment and find that Americans exhibit a substantively small but statistically significant preference against immigrants posited to move into their neighborhood.

Political scientists are active in politics, but primarily in ways that share research findings and tend to avoid visible partisan politics.

A quantitative-forward approach to political science is popular & one that many believe would provide value for students. Djupe and Williams describe such a program that front-loads research methods.

"The main idea is to provide the big picture while enabling students to zoom in and see any details they wish, with nothing omitted, and then zooming back out to understand the context."

Guess what, political scientists? Small assignments that engage students in politics boost their confidence in their ability to influence the political process!

Excited to see my new paper "Conflating Lobbying and PACs: The Surprisingly Low Overlap in Organizational Lobbying and Campaign Expenditures" with @timlapira.bsky.social and @clarebrock.bsky.social out at @pspolisci.bsky.social!

Conflating Lobbying and PACs: The
Surprisingly Low Overlap in
Organizational Lobbying and Campaign
Expenditures
Alexander C. Furnas, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University, USA
Timothy M. LaPira, James Madison University, USA
Clare Brock, Colorado State University, USA
ABSTRACT This article investigates whether campaign contributions and lobbying are com-
plementary, substitutive, or distinct forms of organizational political engagement. Our study
reveals minimal overlap between organizations that engage in lobbying and those that make
campaign contributions despite the perception that these activities are interchangeable forms
of “money in politics.” Using comprehensive contribution and lobbying report data from 1998
to 2018, we find that most politically active organizations focus exclusively on either lobbying
or making campaign contributions. Only a small percentage of organizations engage in both
activities. This finding challenges the assumption that these forms of political activity are
inherently linked. The majority of organizations engaged in political activity do so exclusively
through lobbying. However, the top lobbying groups spend the most money and almost
always have affiliated political action committees (PACs). Most lobbying money is spent by a
small number of big spenders—organizations that also have affiliated PACs. Organizations
that both lobby and make campaign contributions tend to be well resourced and rare.
