Abstract

Legislative turnover is indicative of political careerism, district competitiveness, and the strength of the incumbency advantage. Although there are many examinations of legislative turnover in U.S. state legislatures, there has not been an update in nearly 2 decades. One limitation of the existing turnover measures is the inability to distinguish between naturally occurring turnover and the artificial turnover caused by term limits. In this research note, I present an update to legislative turnover from 2002 to 2018 and discuss the importance of using updated data, as well as avenues for future research.

小心你的计算:更新50个州的立法人员更替

立法机构的更替表明了政治职业主义、地区竞争力和现任优势的强弱。尽管对美国各州立法机构的更替进行了多次审查，但近20年来一直没有更新过。现有更替措施的一个限制是无法区分自然发生的更替和任期限制造成的人为更替。在本研究报告中，我介绍了2002年至2018年立法机构营业额的最新情况，并讨论了使用更新数据的重要性，以及未来研究的途径。
