Sponsorship Analysis

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

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

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