摘要：This article explains incentives that individuals face when deciding whether to support legislationon farm-animal treatment. We analyze precinct- and town-level voting patterns in two successfulreferendum votes (California’s Prop 2 and Massachusetts’s Question 3) that restricted animalhousingpractices. In both cases, support for the referendum was positively correlated withsupport for the Democratic candidate for president and negatively correlated with employmentin agriculture; support for Question 3 increased with income. We use our regression results topredict how voters in other U.S. states would have voted had they faced similar referendums in2008 and 2016.
