摘要

尽管美国律师协会(ABA)的评级被广泛应用于司法政治的研究中,但它具有党派偏见。因此,当研究人员将美国律师协会的评级和意识形态一起纳入模型时,结果可能会偏向于意识形态、资格或两者影响的非结论。本研究利用美国律师协会评级过程的新数据,为美国上诉法院被提名人的资格创建了一个有效、可靠的新衡量标准。在一个实证例子中,我用其他规范对新的衡量标准进行了测试,以证明其潜力。该实证案例还提供了一组关于巡回法院确认听证会发言的新数据。研究结果与以往研究的既定结论形成了鲜明对比。

Quality in Measurement Matters: Adjusted American Bar Association Ratings and Circuit Court Confirmation Hearing Word Choice
Though widely used in studies of judicial politics, American Bar Association (ABA) ratings have a partisan bias. As a result, when researchers include ABA ratings and ideology in a model together, the results may be biased toward non-findings with respect to the effect of ideology, qualifications, or both. This study leverages new data on the ABA rating process to create a valid and reliable new measure for the qualifications of nominees to the US Courts of Appeals. In an empirical example, I test the new measure against alternative specifications to demonstrate its potential. The empirical example also presents a new data set on circuit court confirmation hearing speech. The findings contrast with well-established conclusions from previous studies.
