Abstract

Taking advantage of the new data available from the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, I examine whether members of the House of Commons can craft a reputation for constituency service with how they allocate their office allowances and the types of Early Day Motions (EDMs) they sponsor. Combining information on the costs of holding surgeries and the sponsorship of constituency service EDMs with the fourth wave of the 2015 British Election Study, I find that increased attention to constituency service through more spending on surgeries and sponsoring constituency EDMs helps MPs build positive reputations among citizens as constituent servants.

照顾选区利益：利用议员开支和早期动议打造选区服务家庭风格

利用独立议会标准局提供的新数据，我研究了下议院议员是否可以通过分配办公室津贴和他们赞助的早期动议(edm)的类型来塑造选区服务的声誉。结合2015年英国选举研究的第四波关于举行手术和赞助选区服务edm的成本的信息，我发现通过增加手术支出和赞助选区edm来增加对选区服务的关注，有助于国会议员在公民中建立积极的声誉，成为选民的仆人。
