| Video Discription | It's been well established that states allowing voter referendum initiatives spend less than states that don't give voters this power. UChicago's Christopher Berry shows for the first time that the spending cuts in states with initiatives are specifically in education funding. Using an expanded data set reaching back more than a century, he finds evidence contradicting the view that initiatives were a causal force in lowering state budgets. Presented by Christopher Berry (University of Chicago); discussed by Jessica Trounstine (University of California, Merced) and Matthew Gentzkow (University of Chicago). The paper being discussed can be found here: http://bfi.uchicago.edu/events/201305... This presentation is part of a series of presentations recorded at "Constitutional Design and the Scope of Authority," a conference hosted by the Becker Friedman Institute. The conference features leading scholars discussing how different constitutional structures impact policy outcomes, with a focus on topics related to federalism, the separation of powers, and checks and balances in governmental institutions.
