Theories of dynamic representation (that is, the linkage between changes in aggregate public opinion and government response over time) are well established. But they are based upon global measures of both public opinion and policy responsiveness. Recent studies have shown the value of considering policy responsiveness separately in specific issue-domains. This study tests more broadly theories of dynamic representation on a number of individual policy areas.The investigators will produce an innovative database allowing the systematic integration of public opinion measures with existing measures of public policy priorities. The project allows for the first time the large-scale integration of public opinion and public policy measures across a multitude of policy domains. Few questions are as central to the notion of representative democracy as the linkage between public opinion and public policy response, so this project will have important contributions to make on a core issue of American government. It also contributes to the infrastructure available to all scholars. In addition, the project provides training for graduate and undergraduate students and provides the integrations of the new data resources into teaching a number of different levels.

动态代表理论（即，随着时间的推移，公众舆论的总体变化与政府的反应之间的联系）已经得到了很好的建立。 但它们是基于对公众舆论和政策反应的全球衡量。 最近的研究表明，在具体问题领域分别考虑政策反应的价值。 本研究在若干个别政策范畴上更广泛地测试动态代表性理论，研究人员将制作一个创新的数据库，以便将民意措施与现有的公共政策优先事项措施系统地结合起来。 该项目首次允许在众多政策领域大规模整合公众舆论和公共政策措施。 对于代议制民主的概念来说，很少有问题像公众舆论和公共政策反应之间的联系那样重要，因此这个项目将在美国政府的核心问题上做出重要贡献。 它还有助于为所有学者提供基础设施。 此外，该项目还为研究生和本科生提供培训，并将新的数据资源整合到多个不同层次的教学中。
