Ideology, Interest Group Scores, and Legislative Votes

Abstract

This article reviews writings by economists and political scientists on the importance of ideology in governmental decision making. We consider various problems in this research, discuss several shortcomings in these recent studies in the context of the larger literature on legislative behavior, and demonstrate the statistical inconsistency of the commonly used methodologies based on interest group scores.
