Collie, 'Incumbency, Electoral Safety and Turnover in the House of Representatives, 1952 76', American PoliticalScienceReview, 75: 1, March 1981, pp. 119-31. This article examines the hypothesis that an increase in electoral value attached to incumbency accounts for the rise in incumbents' victory margins observed since the mid-sixties.
