Abstract
This paper examines an impact of federal legislation on the formation of political interests; it identifies and defines a phenomenon we have labeledimputed interest groups. The interest groups can be seen when federal legislation makes benefit packages that serve as incentives to interest formation and ties interest groups to the maintenance of these benefit packages. Identification of imputed interest groups necessitates a re‐examination of subgovernments, service deliverer‐recipient relationships, and policymaking in a federal system.Keywords
