Scaling Policy Preferences from Coded Political Texts

Will Lowe, Kenneth Benoit, Slava Mikhaylov et al. · 1 Feb 2011

Scholars estimating policy positions from political texts typically code words or sentences and then build left‐right policy scales based on the relative frequencies of text units coded into different categories.

There are striking differences across the two samples. While a proportional representation electoral system, women's participation in the labor…

Michele L. Swers · 1 Aug 1998

votes indicate that gender exerts a significant and independent effect on voting for women's issues in the face of controls for other major influences on congressional voting. These influences include constituency factors, party, personal characteristics, and ideology. Interaction terms for gender by party indicate that much of the impact of gender is due to the…
