Do governors have character, in the sense that they promise and implement environmental policies consistent with their own preferences?

In our empirical analysis, we make use of parametric and non-parametric regression-discontinuity approaches. While re-electable governors do not set significantly different policies, lame duck governors do. We argue that in the …
