It is well established in the literature that the number of interest group organizations varies
across countries and states, with economic freedom and other institutional factors playing
important roles in economic growth and prosperity. At the same time, the literature
offers little empirical evidence of the influence of institutions on interest group behavior.
This study presents new evidence on the extent to which institutional structure, in particular
state and local governmental fiscal decentralization, promotes or hinders interest group
formation. Expenditure decentralization, more so than revenue decentralization, appears
to constrain the number of industry-type groups while having little effect on social-type
groups in US states. The results provide further evidence of the importance of institutional
quality and structure across states and suggest important directions for future research.
