Journal of Political Economy, 1978
We present a model of the legislature as a union, where in some states the legislative wage is set in the constitution (the analogue to competition) and in others it is set by the legislators (monopoly).

American Political Science Review, 1992
We construct a stochastic model of a legislature with an endogenously determined seniority system. We model the behavior of the legislators as well as their constituents as an infinitely repeated divide-the-dollar game. The game has a stationary equilibrium with the property that the legislature imposes on itself a non-trivial seniority system, and ...

Citizens' Orientations Toward Legislatures: Congress and the State Legislature
Western Political Quarterly, 1992wo decades ago, Wahlke argued forcefully that research on legislative representation should focus more effort on investigating patterns of public orientations toward representative institutions, mapping "the incidence and variations of support in specific systems," and formulating "hypotheses about its conditions and correlates" (Wahlke 1978: 83).

One critique of some common-law comparative legal academies is their intensively “court-centric” focus, which, some believe, “marginalize[s]” the role of the legislative branch. The same may be said of the extant comparative international law literature: most of it concerns the interpretive approaches of national courts.
