NASA Funding in Congress: Money Matters
Original language description
This paper argues that individual members of Congress engage in economic opportunism, voting inthe best interests of their constituents based on economic heuristics, when considering space policylegislation. Multivariable logit analysis is conducted on five votes in the House of Representativesto test the hypotheses. The economic opportunism effect is captured in the models by thepresence of NASA Centers, relative importance of space industry and NASA procurements.Findings suggest that economic benefits to a member's constituency can play an important rolein legislative voting, particularly when legislation deals with federal aerospace funding, whenspace policy bills lack over-reaching bi-partisan support. In recent years the National Aeronauticsand Space Administration (NASA) has seen its funding fall prey to partisan budget battles andparty line voting, but this was not historically the norm. As we move forward into a future whereNASA funding may become more scrutinized and politicized, this paper supports the thesis thatindividual members of Congress care more about the funds for their constituents than the otheraspects of space policy.
