Revised October2009 Ideal Point Data from
Chapter 2 of Bailey & Maltzman (2009). The following
files contain data from
chapter 2 of Bailey, Michael
A and Forrest Maltzman. 2009. The Constrained Court. Manuscript, This
chapter updates and extends Bailey,
Michael A. 2007. Comparable Preference Estimates across Time
and Institutions for the Court, Congress and Presidency. American
Journal of Political Science 51, 3 (July): 433-448. The
method produces ideal point estimates that are comparable across institutions
and across time for 1950 to 2008. For
data from Bailey (2007), see
data page for that paper.
This tab-delimited file contains ideal points for each Senator, Representative, President and Supreme Court Justice for each year from 1950 to 2008. Details on the estimation procedure and the data are available in the data appendix linked below. This
file includes only 9 justices in each year (when there is a mid-year
replacement, the justice who voted on more cases is included). Version 1.1 includes Justice White in 1962,
not Justice Whittaker. I also have
estimates for all justices for all years they served; please contact me for
them. This tab-delimited file contains the ideal point estimates
of Presidents and the median ideal point estimates for the Senate, House and
Supreme Court for each year from 1950 to 2002. When one Justice replaces another on the
court within a given year, the Justice who served longer is used to calculate
the median for the year. One can use
the raw ideal point data to make different calculations, if desired. Version 1.1 includes
Justice White in 1962, not Justice Whittaker. This file contains additional information on the data and
estimation procedure used in Chapter 2 of Bailey and Maltzman, The Constrained Court. |
