13. Research Paper Assignment
Today’s tasks
1. Introduce a new data set.2. Discuss 3rd Paper assignment3. Discuss Norrander & Wilcox as an example of how to do analysis on a data set similar to ours.
Why a new data set?1. Two types of data sets used in analysis—individual & aggregate.2. The rest of the term we will be studying interval variables and there are few in the NES data.3. We want you to learn to add a variable to a data set and that is hard to do with the NES data.
State Legislative Data Set
Aggregate level data set: unit of analysis = state x chamber.
Variables primarily based on a survey of state legislators.
