Document Summary
Political institutions matter: gov restricted power from cooper when cooper came in. The rules of the game: reform: its all about when and the timing of rule changes. Variation among states: louisiana doesn"t care about speed limit or drinking age and they pay for it in highway taxes. How socioeconomic and geographic factors create different public policies: geography of nc makes tourism easy to advertise, florida cant advertise snow. What do we mean by- government, public policy, public goods, and the comparative method. State and local gov is most connected to every day life. We want government to do many things. National government has little to do with every day public services: nc has a pretty low education cost because the state covers most of the cost. State and local government is where the action is. State and local governments- everywhere, all the time.
