Boehmke 1 and Julianna Pacheco 1 Since Walker s (1969) pathbreaking article, over 200 articles have been written on the topic of policy innovation in American politics (Graham, Shipan, and Volden 2013) spanning such policy topics as welfare reform (e.g., Rom, Peterson, and Scheve 1998), school choice (Mintrom 1997), criminal justice (e.g., Makse and Volden 2011), public health (e.g., Shipan and Volden 2006), and Indian gaming (Boehmke and Witmer 2004), to name just a few. Scholars researching policy innovation and diffusion continue to ask why some states adopt certain policies or innovate and others do not? What explains the geographic and temporal patterns of policy diffusion? What is the process through which one state s policy activity influences current or future activities among other states? Why do certain policies diffuse more rapidly than others? How much of the policy process is influenced by internal state characteristics compared with external forces? The study of policy innovation and diffusion continues to expand and change rapidly, particularly in the last decade (Graham, Shipan, and Volden 2013). While much has been learned through the single policy event history analysis (EHA) approach first introduced by F. S. Berry and Berry (1990) in their classic study on lottery adoptions, scholars have begun to exhaust the great variety of questions that can be studied or answered with this single method. There have been both theoretical and methodological pushes to advance the study of policy diffusion, whether through more rigorous theorizing (Pacheco 2012; Volden, Ting, and Carpenter 2008), new measures of key explanatory concepts (W. D. Berry and Baybeck 2005; Shipan and Volden 2006), new measures of policy outcomes (Boehmke and Skinner 2012; Boushey 2010; Karch 2007), or new methods for studying innovation (Boehmke 2009; Volden 2006). Given the rapid pace of development and the multiple directions it took, we convened a small gathering of experts in the field hosted by the University of Iowa and sponsored by the Benjamin F. Shambaugh Memorial Fund and the Department of Political Science to assess the state of the field and to discuss directions for moving 1 The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA Corresponding Author: Frederick J.

2 4 State Politics & Policy Quarterly 16(1) forward. We sought a broad conversation and scheduled 15 papers discussing policy diffusion between the American states as well as between countries. These presentations demonstrated that the pace of innovation in the policy diffusion literature continues to be high, with recurring conversations about what we seek to test and the best way to test it as well as continued methodological innovation through the application of spatial econometrics, text analysis, network analysis, and experiments. The conference led to an open call for submissions to put together this special issue of State Politics & Policy Quarterly (SPPQ) on policy diffusion in the American states. The issue begins with a short commentary by Gilardi (2016) titled Four Ways We Can Improve Policy Diffusion Research. Heeding the call for American politics scholars to integrate their work with other subfields (Graham, Shipan, and Volden 2013), Gilardi cites extensive literature from comparative politics and international relations and suggests the following strategies for improvement: (1) consistency in concepts and measurement, (2) clarification of the goals of the diffusion research, (3) attention to the research design, and (4) discussion of practical implications. It is our hope that scholars reflect upon these recommendations in the future. The remaining articles can be divided into providing primarily theoretical or methodological advances to the study of policy diffusion in the American states. Theoretical Advances Karch and Rosenthal (2016) highlight that policy diffusion processes need not only occur horizontally across states. Diffusion can also occur vertically (also called bottom-up diffusion) as the national government learns about policy successes or failures from the 50 states. Oftentimes, policy advocates strategically begin at the state level in hopes that policy adoptions will bubble-up to the federal level, especially in cases where Congress has failed to act such as with sales taxation associated with electronic commerce. Karch and Rosenthal (2016) finds evidence of federal policy learning with electronic commerce, yet only in the early stages of the legislative process when specific laws and rhetoric were under consideration by policy makers. There is less evidence that policy learning occurs in the later stages of policy adoption. Building off the policy learning mechanism of policy diffusion, Volden (2016) explores the extent to which states abandon policies after learning about failures in other states. Using a dyad-based EHA, Volden (2016) finds that states are more likely to abandon welfare-to-work policies during the formative years of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) after learning that a state s policy failed in its objectives, such as not decreasing unemployment in welfare recipients, welfare rolls, or overall poverty rates. Moreover, learning from policy failures is amplified in state pairings that are ideologically similar as well as among professional state legislatures. Nicholson-Crotty and Carley (2016) also find evidence that diffusion occurs via policy learning, but remind us that learning can occur through the implementation process. More specifically, Nicholson-Crotty and Carley (2016) argue that lawmakers will be particularly likely to adopt effective policies from states that share similar
3 Boehmke and Pacheco 5 implementation capacities, such as when two states have similarly regulated electricity markets. Using a dyadic approach on the probability of a state to adopt Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), the authors find that policy learning about the effectiveness of RPS is magnified when states have similar regulation markets. This research implies that lawmakers consider their likelihood of replicating success when emulating effective policies. Methodological Advances Building off of recent work that uses large datasets of policies (e.g., Boehmke and Skinner 2012), Mallison (2016) uses survival analysis to create a new estimate of policy adoption speed from 1902 to Armed with this continuous estimate, Mallison then shows how useful such a measure is by exploring whether diffusion speeds up over time and how policy characteristics (e.g., policy complexity and salience) and the clustering of policies influence the speed of adoption. We concur with Mallison that a continuous measure of adoption speed holds promise for our understanding of the mechanisms of policy diffusion as well as how the political or policy environment influences the spread of policies. Kreitzer and Boehmke (2016) highlight the importance of choosing the correct estimation strategy for studying the policy diffusion process across multiple issues. Using Monte Carlo simulations, the authors show that multilevel models with random coefficients produce better estimates than strategies using fixed effects or clustering to model heterogeneity across policies. Kreitzer and Boehmke (2016) go on to show the value of this estimation technique on a unique dataset of 29 anti-abortion rights policies from 1973 to Scholars are advised to incorporate random effects and random coefficients into pooled event history analyses (PEHA) when appropriate in their own data. Future Directions These articles and the other research presented at the conference demonstrate that the study of policy diffusion remains a revitalized field that has taken advantage of new methodological innovations to study its core issues and has been the impetus for developing new methods in its own right. Given the complexity of the underlying process of diffusion and the development of ever-more nuanced theories of the diffusion process, bringing new methods to bear and identifying creative ways to use existing tools remain critical for the field to move forward. At its core, policy adoption remains a binary outcome, and often a rare event. But rich concepts underlie adoption and diffusion and scholars have increasingly begun to find ways to measure these richer concepts, whether at the micro or macro levels. Combining this with further theoretical advances and, perhaps even more important, attention to theoretical clarity in empirical tests will allow the field to continue to move forward apace.
