【要旨】
This study demonstrates that the rise of protectionist sentiment among Republican voters is rooted in stimulus allocation during the Great Recession. I leverage project-level, geo-referenced stimulus allocation data under the Obama administration’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) merged with nationally-representative survey data before, during and after the stimulus deployment. The difference-in-differences estimates suggest that it is not scarcity of government-funded jobs that gave rise to protectionism among Republican voters. Rather, protectionism emerged in response to credit-claiming by the Obama administration that came with more generous allocation of ARRA-funded jobs. I devise two identification strategies, one that leverages variations in states’ compliance to the Federal Highway Administration’s order to install road signs for the ARRA-funded infrastructural projects and a second that utilizes the allocation of ARRA-funded jobs in the renewable energy sector based on solar and wind-generation suitability factors. The results lend support to the causal effect of stimulus allocation on the rise of protectionism during the Great Recession.
