We are looking for researchers interested in preliminary access to beta versions of the LawProM datasets for use in current or future research projects. Visit https://t.co/GrM75ZDvC0 for more information.
Our paper @apsrjournal is out!
Using our measure designed to capture different kinds of lawmaking we find that traditional measures of legislative productivity systematically undercount the work of women (and likely Black) MoCs who are more likely to legislate behind the scenes.

@joshmccrain@JoshData Swinging by to plug our data and manuscript (under review) that tracks who legislates via text reuse (among other things). It's pretty common, and there are patterns--women and Black MoCs disproportionately pass their legislation this way.
