Is Lobbying a Good Investment?
A study published in the Economist says yes!
The Economist reported on a recent study by the analysis firm Strategas, which says companies that spend more on lobbying do better over time on the S&P 500.
Here is the article in the Economist: “Money and politics: Ask what your country can do for you” from October 1, 2011.
Brad Plumer also covered the story in “The outsized returns from lobbying” from yesterday’s Washington Post.
