| Abstract | We use a unique and comprehensive data set, spanning 32,515 individual Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioners’ votes over 27 years to estimate FCC commissioner preferences. Employing Multinomial Logit and Multinomial Probit choice models, we estimate FCC commissioners’ preferences over different vote choices. According to multinomial logit results, idiosyncratic commissioner preferences are far important than party affiliation in determining commissioner votes. Multinomial probit results indicate that the vote choices concur and dissent are close substitutes of each other. |
