DESCRIPTION:The movement of public officials into private sector jobs—ofte
 n referred to as the [i]revolving door[/i]—has become an increasingly vis
 ible and consequential feature of contemporary politics. While the phenom
 enon is often discussed\, we still know relatively little about how commo
 n it is\, why firms engage in this practice\, and what consequences it ha
 s for markets and business-government relations. With a focus on the Unit
 ed States\, this talk presents new evidence on the prevalence and purpose
  of the revolving door\, where it is now a far more widespread form of co
 rporate political engagement than traditional tools such as lobbying or c
 ampaign contributions. Drawing on large-scale administrative and financia
 l data\, I show that firms tend to hire former public officials in respon
 se to political shocks and use them to manage their regulatory environmen
 t. Firms that engage in this practice subsequently receive more governmen
 t contracts and are less likely to face regulatory enforcement actions. T
 he talk will close with a discussion of the implications for other contex
 ts\, including Denmark and Europe\, and what these patterns mean for how 
 we understand the evolving relationship between business and the state.\n
