摘要：
We find that members of the House of Representatives who vote for deregulation are more likely to be employed in the private sector after leaving Congress than those who do not vote for deregulation. An analysis of voting behavior in a major financial regulation-the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999-shows that representatives use voting to enhance their careers. The results are consistent with politicians' public rent-seeking and show that political capital is as valuable for politicians as it is for companies.
