Specifying a Model of State Policy Innovation

Howard Frant, Frances Stokes Berry and William D. Berry

American Political Science Review, 1991, vol. 85, issue 2, 571-579

Abstract: How should policy innovations undertaken by states be modeled? Frances Stokes Berry and William D. Berry presented an event history analysis of the determinants of lottery adoptions by state governments in the June 1990 issue of this Review. Howard Front argues that the way Berry and Berry tested for interaction among variables is invalid on the grounds that what they take to be empirical results are only artifacts of the model specification. In response, the Berrys elaborate their original model and add alternative specifications.
