1.《国会管理规则》的创制和变革(1)收集了众议院预算委员会的数据，分析了讨论预算问题的方式。(2)分析了推动议会至上和议会内阁制的国会机构，并以书籍的形式完成了对立法机构的创设、转型和政治结果的研究。(3)展示了各种两院和解方法在二维空间模型中使用的条件，2.立法数据收集(1)调查了有关国会会期的规定与立法成功的可能性之间的关系，并考察了国会行使议事日程权力的方式是否影响了厚生福利省行政机构的独立性。(2)创建了…更多的是战后需要两院协调的法案的数据集。(3)收集了第119届至第141届国会内阁立法过程的信息，并出版了立法建议清单。3.立法机构与行为相互作用的理论和检验(1)从立法成功的可能性角度考察了《国会法案》修订的效果。(2)表明参众两院议员不一定比众议院议员高。(3)从比较立法研究的角度出版了一本关于美国国会预算改革分析的书。(4)分析了立法时间的匮乏如何使议事权成为议会政治的核心问题，并以书籍的形式完成了对立法日程的持续时间分析的研究。(5)撰写了一篇文章，重点对国家和地方各级立法机构(即国会和县议会)的体制进行了比较。(6)比较了内阁提交的法案和国会议员提出的法案的立法过程，表明立法成功的可能性关键取决于宪法决定的权力分配以及内阁如何控制国会的议程设置。(7)考察了国会和行政机构之间的制度关系，并分析了允许更大潜力发挥行政领导的立法和选举条件。较少
