 and Political Economy presents&nbsp\;Political Parties as\nDrivers of U.S.
  Polarization: 1927-2018The current\npolarization of elites in the U.S.\, 
 particularly in Congress\, is frequently\nascribed to the emergence of coh
 orts of ideologically extreme legislators\nreplacing moderate ones. The au
 thors present a multi-dimensional voting model\nand identification strateg
 y designed to decouple the ideological preferences of\nlawmakers from the 
 control exerted by their party leadership. Applying this\nstructural frame
 work to the U.S. Congress between 1927- 2018\, they find that\nthe influen
 ce of leaders over their rank-and-file has been a growing driver of\npolar
 ization in voting\, particularly since the 1970s.&nbsp\; Francesco Trebbi&
