Martin Gilens is a political scientist and co-author, with Benjamin I. Page, of the 2014 Perspectives on Politics article summarized in Gilens and Page 2014 Testing Theories of American Politics. The article identifies him as a Princeton University politics professor whose research includes representation, public opinion, mass media, inequality, and public policy.
Gilens matters here as a source author for a major empirical framework on policy responsiveness, economic inequality, and organized interest-group influence. His earlier dataset and book-length work supply much of the source base used in the 2014 article.
This page is an author/source entity anchor. It should not be used as evidence for claims about Gilens outside the captured 2014 article package without additional source material.
