Abstract
Lingering questions about the effects of postsecondary governance structure on the policy-adoption behavior of state governments have assumed new significance in light of a recent wave of financing and accountability policy innovation in the postsecondary-education sector. Using longitudinal analysis, this study tests the effects of postsecondary governance structure, state socioeconomic and political characteristics, and interstate "diffusion" dynamics on state policy innovation patterns in the postsecondary-education sector between 1981 and 1998. Governance arrangements showed only a weak relationship to innovation patterns, but legislative party control and interstate diffusion had a strong effect upon the adoption of new postsecondary financing policies.
