Are Firms Gerrymandered? By Joaquín Artés, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Aaron R. Kaufman, New York University Abu Dhabi, Brian K. Richter, University of Chicago and Jeffrey F.

We compare allocations of firms in enacted redistricting plans to counterfactual distributions constructed using simulation methods.

Want to understand the long term drivers of why big business is so unpopular now? (And it’s not just in the US—we trace this phenomenon around the world). Check out our new book coming in January. Too late for Xmas, but what everyone is secretly hoping they get for Valentine’s Day 2026.
