Why are some parliamentarians’ bills more likely to progress? Sponsorship as a signal

Abstract: This article offers an empirical test of why some legislators’ bills are more likely to move forward in the legislative process. We argue that who signs the bill matters when it comes to the level of support that the proposal receives. Successful bills will be sponsored by a greater number of members ( bandwagon factor) and political adversaries ( support across the aisle factor). On the contrary, failed initiatives will be those sponsored by inexperienced parliamentarians ( newcomers factor). We examine the c… Show more

“…The analysis of cosponsorship decisions has been widely studied by experts of political science, e.g., [8,27,31]. Research on cosponsorship often focuses on three aspects: the agenda-setting dynamics of bill introductions and cosponsorship [21,24], how cosponsorship a ects bill passage [6,12,41,49,51], and alliances between legislators [4,5,15,22,23,28]. Despite political science research directly linking cosponsorship to the texts of bills and speeches in congress, cosponsorship has so far received little to no attention from the NLP community.…”

“…Entre ellas, la experiencia, posición de liderazgo y género. Aquellos legisladores que se suman al congreso por primera vez tienden a encontrar mayores obstáculos para ver sus iniciativas transformadas en ley (Alemán y Calvo 2008;Dockendorff 2020). En parte, esto se deriva de su falta de experiencia respecto de las maniobras necesarias para sortear dificultades institucionales y de cómo construir el apoyo político necesario para lograr que sus iniciativas se aprueben en comisión y lleguen a votarse en el plenario (Frantzich 1979).…”

“…Quienes estudian el éxito legislativo en Latinoamérica han utilizado como unidad de análisis las propuestas de ley (Alemán y Calvo 2008, 2010Hiroi 2008;Htun et al 2013;Calvo y Chasquetti 2016;Skigin 2019;Dockendorff 2020). Esto permite evaluar cómo las características específicas de cada iniciativa afectan la probabilidad de ser aprobada por la cámara o transformarse en ley.…”
