Party Politics, Governors, and Economic Policy

---

In this article, we evaluate the role of elections in governors' state tax policy making. Does it
tnatter for state taxes whether the governor is a Democrat or Republican and whether she is
eligible for re-election or faces a binding term limit? Using a Regression Discontinuity Design
and a panel of U.S. states, we fmd that the manner in which governors of different parties
implement different tax policies turns crucially on the incumbent's eligibility for re-election. Reelectable Democratic governors increase income taxes relative to similarly situated Republicans,
yielding divergence between party policy positions. However, governors facing a binding
term limit exhibit the reverse policy difference, resulting in a movement of policy back together.
