An enduring question for most nations has been how to best
represent their citizens and their needs. This is a complex issue
as there is no universally accepted definition of good
representation. Representation and Institutional Design addresses
the issues of institutions and representation by examining how
variation in institutional design can affect many aspects of how
legislators represent their constituents. It does so by examining
the relationships between legislative design (electoral laws, term
limits, professionalism, and district size and magnitude) and many
aspects of representation (symbolic, service, and policy
representation, as well as legislators' incentives to represent). A
key finding is that each aspect of professionalism has a unique set
of effects on representation. Legislators with staff have closer
relationship with their constituents than others. Legislators with
other legislative resources engage in more symbolic and service
representation but not policy representation. And legislators in
institutions with greater capacity were similar to others in their
representative style. Findings also indicate that term limits
weaken relationships between legislators and constituents and
electoral laws, and district size and magnitude have some but
limited effects. This is an important study not only because of the
importance of representation but also because of the dearth of
research on how institutional design affects representation in
state legislatures.
