The Context of Legislating

Más información sobre el libro

The book offers a detailed analysis of how institutional rules, resources, and political conditions influence the legislative process. By examining data from over 1,100 legislators, 230 committees, and 12,000 bills across ten state lower chambers, it reveals how these factors can either increase or decrease the costs associated with different types of legislative activities. The findings highlight both the independent impact of institutional variables and their interactive effects on the behavior of legislators, providing valuable insights into the complexities of legislative dynamics.
