Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Congress scholars have produced a number of statistical procedures to estimate the preferences of legislators in roll call voting. In order to test current theoretical models of spatial voting, however, it is also necessary to obtain proper estimates of the location of the proposal and of the status quo. In this paper we extend recent research on ideal point estimation to provide a plausible location for the proposal and the status quo in roll call data. We show that there is often sufficient information to significantly narrow the area where the proposal and the status quo reside. We exemplify our modeling strategy through the use of simulations and roll call data from the 107th U.S. Senate.
