The Effects of Congressional Rules about Bill Cosponsorship on Duplicate Bills: Changing Incentives for Credit Claiming

Scott Thomas and Bernard Grofman

Public Choice, 1993, vol. 75, issue 1, 93-98

Abstract: The authors generate for the first time a time series that allows them to identify the number of duplicate bills in Congresses operating under different rules about the cosponsorship of bills. They show that changes in the congressional rules about bill cosponsorship affected the number of duplicate bills in a way fully consistent with a public choice perspective on legislative "credit claiming."
