요약This dissertation seeks to answer one central question: why do so many Americans in the parts of the country that would economically benefit most from jobs in newer industries, such as green energy, resist retraining and local investment in those very jobs? To answer this question, I develop a theoretical framework that argues that the decline of hegemonic sectors (i.e. sectors that have historically employed substantial proportions of the local workforce of a community), specifically in the manufacturing, mining, and farming sectors, informs people's political behavior. This process is facilitated by the development of an identity, which I call place-linked identity, among the residents of the communities that experience this industry death. This connection between industry death and identity holds across generations, and all residents of the community, not just employees of affected industries, have it. This is due to the development of institutions, such as museums, memorializing the fallen industries. Because of this strong, lasting, and widespread place-linked identity, training for new jobs and transforming the local economy, even if it makes strict economic sense, comes at a cost: a potential loss or shift in identity. I test this theory empirically. First, I use time series data over 53 years to determine which communities are actually home to hegemonic sectors. I then map the existence of museums across the country and use text analysis to determine which museums are related to local industries. Finally, I use survey experimental data to test whether people living in places with hegemonic sectors and industry-related museums, and who have strong place-linked identities, are indeed more resistant to job retraining. The results are mixed. While I generally find the opposite result of expected - those with strong place-linked identity are on average more willing to retrain, I find evidence that those who are aware of the history of the local economy and related institutions are more likely to behave as my theory predicts. This highlights the need for better ways of measuring how people think, what they know, and how their local community shapes their politics.

■520    ▼aThis  dissertation  seeks  to  answer  one  central  question:  why  do  so  many  Americans  in  the  parts  of  the  country  that  would  economically  benefit  most  from  jobs  in  newer  industries,  such  as  green  energy,  resist  retraining  and  local  investment  in  those  very  jobs?  To  answer  this  question,  I  develop  a  theoretical  framework  that  argues  that  the  decline  of  hegemonic  sectors  (i.e.  sectors  that  have  historically  employed  substantial  proportions  of  the  local  workforce  of  a  community),  specifically  in  the  manufacturing,  mining,  and  farming  sectors,  informs  people's  political  behavior.  This  process  is  facilitated  by  the  development  of  an  identity,  which  I  call  place-linked  identity,  among  the  residents  of  the  communities  that  experience  this  industry  death.  This  connection  between  industry  death  and  identity  holds  across  generations,  and  all  residents  of  the  community,  not  just  employees  of  affected  industries,  have  it.  This  is  due  to  the  development  of  institutions,  such  as  museums,  memorializing  the  fallen  industries.  Because  of  this  strong,  lasting,  and  widespread  place-linked  identity,  training  for  new  jobs  and  transforming  the  local  economy,  even  if  it  makes  strict  economic  sense,  comes  at  a  cost:  a  potential  loss  or  shift  in  identity.  I  test  this  theory  empirically.  First,  I  use  time  series  data  over  53  years  to  determine  which  communities  are  actually  home  to  hegemonic  sectors.  I  then  map  the  existence  of  museums  across  the  country  and  use  text  analysis  to  determine  which  museums  are  related  to  local  industries.  Finally,  I  use  survey  experimental  data  to  test  whether  people  living  in  places  with  hegemonic  sectors  and  industry-related  museums,  and  who  have  strong  place-linked  identities,  are  indeed  more  resistant  to  job  retraining.  The  results  are  mixed.  While  I  generally  find  the  opposite  result  of  expected  -  those  with  strong  place-linked  identity  are  on  average  more  willing  to  retrain,  I  find  evidence  that  those  who  are  aware  of  the  history  of  the  local  economy  and  related  institutions  are  more  likely  to  behave  as  my  theory  predicts.  This  highlights  the  need  for  better  ways  of  measuring  how  people  think,  what  they  know,  and  how  their  local  community  shapes  their  politics.
