Measuring legislators’ ideological position in large chambers using pairwise-comparisons
Our understanding of politics often relies on the ideological placement of political actors—ranging from scaling legislative roll-call voting in the United States to text-based classifications of political parties in Europe. A particularly thorny problem remains estimating individual positions in legislatures with strong partisan discipline. We improve upon recently developed measurement strategies and propose a novel approach for estimating legi…

Policy agendas in Germany – database and descriptive insights
Agenda-setting focuses on how political issues emerge within society, enter parliamentary debates and are responded to by government decisions.

These political activities include political inputs (public opinion), processes (party manifestos, parliamentary questions and government speeches), as well as outputs (laws). Each activity’s topic is identified using the …
(When) do electoral mandates set the agenda? Government capacity and mandate responsiveness in Germany

This article provides a theoretical model and an empirical account of the extent to w…

Existing research often focuses on the problem perception of climate change rather than analyzing attitudes toward specific climate solutions. Studies also largely use closed questions to assess public opinion, posing a problem of ecological validity. Here, we address these gaps by leveraging data from a lar…
