Institutional Policy
Institutional research explores the interplay between political institutions and policy. In this context institutions include legislatures such as Congress or city councils, executives such as presidents or mayors, implementing agencies, and courts.
Recent institutional projects at GWIPP include:
- Garry Young’s analysis of the policy consequences of the District of Columbia’s relationship with Congress
- Brandon Bartel’s examination of judicial decisionmaking
- Forrest Maltzman’s study of legislative institutions and policy persistence
