[EL] New CFI Money and Politics Bibliography -- requesting crowd-sourcing help from the community

[Michael Malbin]

Colleagues,

On Monday the Campaign Finance Institute announced its new Money in
Politics bibliography tool with more than 450 entries since 2007, 231 of
which came out in 2013 and 2014 alone bit.ly/1qXlx9A
<http://t.co/jkQoICBwZV>.  It came with an attachment listing the 2013-14
items, but because attachments may not work well on a listserv, you can see
the titles and authors here
http://cfinst.org/MoneyandPolitics_Bibliography.aspx.  You can sort on any
of the columns, including author's last name.

The announcement described the tool inaccurately as being exhaustive.  It
is extensive, but we have already learned from two senior colleagues that
we missed a couple of their works.

As we said in the original release, we know we may have missed some things,
for which we apologize. (It is always hard to proofread for what is
missing.)  *We therefore are asking for the community's help.*

Please send us citations for anything else that should be added. Here are
the only limitations:  it should be a book, book chapter in an edited
volume, scholarly journal or law review article, or conference paper on
campaign finance (not election law) since 2007.  Note that the only
conferences we have searched so far are those of the American and Midwest
Political Science Associations, but we would be happy to post other papers
you submit as long as users can get to them.

As a next phase, we will add working papers on which authors may be asking
comments, posted on such places as SSRN.  Send those citations in as well.
We'll add them as soon as we can, although a public announcement will wait
until these submissions have reached a critical mass.

To facilitate the process: please send your citations, at a minimum.
Electronic versions of the item itself will make it easier to post the
abstract. We'll soon create an online form to make all of this easier, but
feel free to use email for now.

And please bear in mind that we envision *this as an ongoing and growing
project, created for the common good of the scholarly and policy
communities.*

So as you have more items published, or give more papers, *please keep
those submissions coming.*

Send them to Mike Parrott (Michael.Parrott at cfinst.org) or directly to me
(mmalbin at cfinst,org).

Thanks for all of your help.
