The Investigators will conduct an integrated spatial analysis of committee markup voting and floor roll call voting in the United States House of Representatives and Senate. They have collected a comprehensive data set of markups staring in September, 1999 and will add to this during the project. All data will be web published and integrated into the VOTEVIEW software for congressional roll calls. The Investigators will incorporate methodological developments integrating the small committee methods developed by Londregan with the large legislature methods developed by Poole and Rosenthal and others. The analysis tests a number of theoretical hypotheses that concern the dimensionality of floor vs. committee voting. For example, are committees drawn, like the floor, mainly on liberal-conservative lines or are they more complex? The Investigators will also test the extent to which committees are preference outliers. Are certain interests over represented on committees?

调查人员将对美国众议院和参议院的委员会加价投票和投票进行综合空间分析。 他们已经收集了1999年9月开始的一套全面的加价数据，并将在项目期间增加这些数据。所有数据将在网上公布，并集成到VOTEVIEW软件，供国会点名使用。调查人员将采用方法论的发展，将Londregan开发的小型委员会方法与Poole和Rosenthal等人开发的大型立法方法相结合。该分析测试了许多与现场投票与委员会投票的维度有关的理论假设。 例如，委员会是否像议会一样，主要是按照自由保守派的路线划分的，或者它们是否更复杂？ 研究者还将检验委员会是偏好离群值的程度。 某些利益集团在委员会中的代表是否过多？
