This nearly completed project encompasses a comprehensive database of information on all bills introduced in Congress since 1947. Recent papers include an examination of the effect of program reauthorization on legislative bill activity, a study of the use of “institutional efficiency” as a decisive factor in the determination of congressional committee jurisdictions, and a study that offers a new theory of congressional committees as “policy caretakers.” New publications include a forthcoming edited volume (with John Lapinski, Yale University), titled The Macropolitics of Congress (Princeton University Press).
