Sponsorship Analysis

"Leader-Follower Score"
Hulshof is a leader according to our statistical analysis of bills in this legislative session. Other Members of Congress tend to cosponsor Hulshof’s bills. For more, see congressional statistics.

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

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