摘要

个人财富是否会转化为政治权力,是否会影响公职人员的意识形态?本文以1805年佐治亚州土地彩票为自然实验,考察了个人财富在政治中的作用。将彩票记录与官员名册和点名投票相匹配,我估计了赢得一块土地对邮局持有的影响,以及对在州立法机构任职的参与者支持奴隶制立法和州银行政策的投票的影响。我发现彩票财富显著降低了立法者对奴隶制立法的支持,并且没有发现证据表明财富影响公职或立法者对银行政策的支持。我使用财产税记录来证明,根据立法者的预处理财富,对奴隶制立法支持的处理效果有系统的差异。结果表明,财富可以影响政策,但不是按照美国政治的经济精英理论所预期的方向。

Wealth, Officeholding, and Elite Ideology in Antebellum Georgia
Does personal wealth translate into political power, and does it influence the ideology of officeholders? This paper investigates the role of personal wealth in politics using the 1805 Georgia land lottery as a natural experiment. Matching lottery records to a roster of officeholders and roll call votes, I estimate the effects of winning a land lot prize on ex-post officeholding, and on votes in favor of slavery legislation and state banking policy for participants who served in the state legislature. I find that lottery wealth significantly reduces legislators' support for slavery legislation, and find no evidence that wealth effects officeholding nor legislators' support for banking policy. I use property tax records to show that the treatment effect on support for slavery legislation varies systematically according legislators' pretreatment wealth. The results demonstrate that wealth can influence policy, but not in the direction anticipated by economic elite theories of American politics.
