Sponsorship Analysis

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

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

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

Taylor has co-sponsored 1016 bills during the same time period. (The count of enacted bills considers only bills actually sponsored by Taylor and companion bills identified by CRS that were themselves enacted, but not if they were incorporated into other bills, as that information is not readily available.)
