	abstract = {This paper discusses three interrelated issues concerning the use of time in cross-sectional policy research in the American states: (1) the proper relation of independent and dependent variables with respect to time, (2) the instability of cross-sectional variable arrays and measures of association over time, and (3) the proper relation of variables measured at a single point in time and variables measured over longer periods of time. Data are drawn from the comparative state policy literature to demonstrate the importance of these issues. Time has not been an issue of major theoretical or operational concern in this literature. However, one's operational use of time can have an important effect on one's findings. Although there is no single correct way to handle time in cross-sectional analysis, the paper suggests guidelines for future research.},
