ABSTRACT
Most people in the World Values Surveys data probably do not belong to the niche community of environmentalists, and so it is important to isolate the resource allocation choices specifically of environmentalists. This means using a battery of variables to measure individual environmentalism, as well as measuring overall public opinion on environmentalism. The individuals who were involved in both parties and interest groups appear to be driven by their pro-environmental opinions, not by institutions. The coefficient for corporatism is negative with respect to interest groups but positive with respect to parties. The Alan Siaroff index of corporatism is included again, as is the State Authority decentralization variable from the Database of Political Institutions (DPI), and the mean district magnitude of the lower-house electoral system variable from the DPI. Holding electoral systems and decentralization constant at their means, and assuming that the group has high resources, corporatism has a strong effect on activists' choices.
