Party and Policy in the States
Abstract
Current theory and research in American state politics challenge us to examine the relationship between the party in control of state government and changes in welfare spending in each of the fifty states in separate longitudinal analyses over thirty years. Party-policy linkages are found in only twenty of the states. States are classified by both party competition and the policy-relevance of their parties. The theoretical distinction between competitive parties and policy-relevant parties is developed, and suggestions are made for future research on class-based and non-class-based party systems in the states.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
