520			_aWhile citizens’ knowledge of their own state’s policies has been investigated, little attention has been paid to citizens’ knowledge of policy differences across the United States. Citizen knowledge of out-of-state policy adoptions may drive diffusion, but a direct test of this knowledge has yet to be conducted. Using a national survey of US adults, I investigate the relationship between individual, state, and policy characteristics and out-of-state knowledge of four policies: recreational marijuana legalization, assault weapon bans, physician-assisted suicide, and in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants. I find that Americans know about out-of-state policies. However, this knowledge varies with an individual’s education attainment and ideological strength, a policy’s observability and complexity, and a state’s liberalism and population.- Reproduced https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10659129251318729
