Why Do Some States Play the Federal Aid Game Better Than Others?

Neil Berch

West Virginia University

This article is a study of variation in the rate of change in federal aid from 1985 to 1987 (the period influenced by the 99th Congress). The author finds that state-based variables like the governor's experience in Congress, intrastate conflict, and Washington lobbying presence are quite useful in explaining the rate of change in federal aid to the states. The findings suggest that a greater emphasis on these so-called demand-side variables is in order.
