U.S. Policy Agendas Project Releasing Data Updates

01 Dec 2016

The Policy Agendas Project (www.comparativeagendas.net/us), directed by Bryan D. Jones at the University of Texas at Austin, announces updates to project datasets. 

Since the release of the Comparative Agendas Project website in March of 2016, the U.S. Policy Agendas Project has sought to update its datasets to current to most available primary source material. 

Project datasets have been updated with observations from the following years:

Congressional Hearings (1946-2014)
Most Important Problem (1946-2015)
CQ Almanac (1948-2011)
Public Laws (1948-2014)
New York Times (1946-2014)
Roll Call (1947-2013)
Executive Orders (1945-2015)
Policy Moods (1940-2015)
Budget Outlays (1791-2015)
 
Additionally, we have added four new datasets:
Democratic and Republican Party Platforms (1948-2016) by Christina Wolbrecht, updated by EJ Fagan
Tax Expenditures (1979-2014) by Christopher Faricy
New York Times Front Page (1996-2006) by Amber Boydstun  
Public Law Titles (1948-2011) by Michelle Whyman

Future updates to the Supreme Court, CQ Almanac, and Budget datasets are expected Summer 2017.  

Additionally, the Danish Agendas Project has also update its datasets. See their page (www.comparativeagendas.net/dk) for more information.
