model which is said to reveal the causal impact of each group’s preferences. It is shown here that the test on which the
original study is based is prone to underestimating the impact of citizens at the 50th income percentile by a wide margin.

policy outcome roughly as often as elites have when the two groups have disagreed with each other. Evidence that
average citizens are effectively ignored by the policy process may not be as strong as is suggested by the authors.

preferences of economic elites... have far more independ-

age citizens do.”5 They conclude that “America’s claims to
being a democratic society are seriously threatened.”
