Models of firms' influence over the regulatory agencies that oversee them have traditionally been constrained by several factors, including a lack of direct measures of "influence," an inability to account for variations in the institutional environment within which firms operate, and a nearly singular focus on industry-level measures of interest group strengths. In this paper, we employ a global database and novel measures to provide a fresh look at the determinants of firms' influence over regulatory agencies. We find that in addition to traditional industry-level determinants, important country-level institutional and firm-level determinants affect firms' regulatory agency influence. We also find that regulatory process variations affect firms' influence over regulators. With these empirical estimates in hand, we generate a Regulatory Influence Index that ranks influence levels of typical firms that operate in each sample country in the dataset, and then discuss the substantial country-level variation in regulatory agency influence that obtains.

“…A line of research on corporate political action (CPA) has already established that social institutions impact the political actions of firms (Hillman, 2003;Hillman & Hitt, 1999;Schuler, Rhebein, & Cramer, 2002). Research conducted in developed economies has found that the personal involvement by representatives of a firm in the government can positively affect firm value (Hillman, Zardkoohi, & Bierman, 1999).…”

“…In general, this research suggests that firms that are larger (Boddewyn and Brewer 1994;Keim and Baysinger 1988;Schuler 1996), more diversified (Hillman and Hitt 1999), have more slack resources (Schuler 1996;Schuler et al 2002), and are older (Hillman 2003), tend to show higher levels of political activity and a greater desire to exert influence on the public policy process. Second, although businesses may indeed show conflicting political action, seminal research by Mizruchi (1992, pp.…”
