Sponsorship Analysis

Chabot is a follower according to our statistical analysis of bills in this legislative session. Chabot tends to cosponsors the bills of other Members of Congress who do not cosponsor Chabot’s own bills. For more, see congressional statistics.

To compute the leader-follower score for Chabot, we make a table that lists all other Members of Congress. Each row has the number bills sponsored by Chabot and cosponsored by the other Member of Congress divided by the number of bills sponsored by the other Member of Congress and cosponsored by Chabot.

This is a measure of who is following who. The higher the number, the more times others are cosponsoring Chabot's bills without Chabot returning the favor. We then take the mean of (the logorithms of) these ratios. Thanks to Joe Barillari for the idea.
