Abstract

Federal waivers to state governments from conditions attached to grants-in-aid and other programs have become a critical factor in U.S. intergovernmental relations, yet no systematic empirical analysis has considered which factors make some states more likely to receive waivers. This article presents results of model estimations of time-series panel data that use as dependent variables measures of waivers to federal Medicaid and education policy from 1991 to 2008. Different factors influence the waivers states receive to different federal programs, suggesting that the waiver process varies greatly from policy to policy. These results do suggest that scholars of future waiver processes look to the capacity of each state's government and the relative size of populations the federal program most affects.
