Building on a deep theoretical foundation and drawing on numerous
examples, we examine how policies spread across the American
states. We argue that for good policies to spread while bad
policies are pushed aside, states must learn from one another. The
three ingredients for this positive outcome are observable
experiments, time to learn, and favorable incentives and expertise
among policymakers. Although these ingredients are sometimes
plentiful, we also note causes for concern, such as when policies
are complex or incompatible with current practices, when
policymakers give in to underlying political biases, or when
political institutions lack the capacity for cultivating expertise.
Under such conditions, states may rely on competition, imitation,
and coercion, rather than learning, which can allow bad policies,
rather than good ones, to spread. We conclude with lessons for
reformers and policymakers and an assessment of our overall
argument based on state responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.
