Abstract
The reasons that individual legislators change their party affiliations are as varied as the goals they hold dear. Primary among them are electoral, office, and policy considerations. The payoffs from party switching are closely linked to electoral and party systems, as well as the dynamics of party competition. In short, the institutional context defined by electoral rules and party politics influences party switching, which in turn can affect the dynamics of party competition; party switching by individual legislators thus has the potential to alter party systems.
