✦ Synopsis

This article has two purposes. One is to develop and test hypotheses regarding the factors that influence campaign contributions from the political action committees (PACs) of large commercial banks to members of the House and Senate banking cormnittees. A second purpose is to estimate the effect of these contributions on subsequent legislator behavior. Aside from being the first to study the causes and effects of big bank PAC contributions, this article is novel in its employment of bill sponsorship as a measure of legislator behavior.
