• An economic interpretation of the constitutional convention of 1787 revisited AI翻译
  作者：University System of Georgia; University of Georgia
  摘要：Empirical studies of delegate voting at the Constitutional Convention have relied on the same 16 roll call votes. This article re-examines various assumptions used in the collection of these data. We first create a baseline regression. We then consider the effect of dropping delegates not in attendance, re-inferring the votes from primary sources, examining various subsamples of the roll calls, and reconstructing constituency variables to include state districts. Our findings suggest that pers...

They also reveal previously un-noticed age- and gender-based variation...
