dc.description.abstract	Preference formulation is one of the most basic and fundamental aspects of lobbying; one can hardly conceive of a form of lobbying in which no preferences are voiced with public o cials. Also, lobbying is often regarded and conceptualised as a collective enterprise. Nonetheless, there has been very little research that looks at the size and robustness of the theorised relationship between interaction among organisations on the one hand and their formulation of preferences on the other hand, with Bunea (2013, 2015) as a notable exception. I nd evidence for increased similarity of expressed preferences with institutionally tied organisations in a new case regarding legislation on CO2 emissions by cars, providing further validation for Bunea's ndings. I also add to Bunea's model by taking into account network size, and add value by correcting for some serious methodological issues that accompany the data structure of a dyadic data set.	en_US
