The policy innovation literature does not mention any systemic analysis of sexual freedom laws. Sexual freedom, since the sexual revolution of the 1960s, has been increasing over the past few decades in the United States at the state level and hence is an appropriate area to study in terms of innovativeness. Data collected from 1960 to 2010 show that variables such as Ideology, Income, Religious and Racial fractionalization are important for sexual freedom innovation. In this article, I also innovate in how I calculate the sexual freedom innovativeness score that was necessitated because of the way sexual freedom laws were coded.

政策创新与性自由

政策创新文献没有提到对性自由法的任何系统分析。自从 1960 年代的性革命以来，性自由在美国的州一级在过去几十年中一直在增加，因此在创新方面是一个合适的研究领域。从 1960 年到 2010 年收集的数据表明，意识形态、收入、宗教和种族分化等变量对性自由创新很重要。在这篇文章中，我还创新了我如何计算性自由创新性分数，因为性自由法的编码方式是必需的。
