공천제도와 입법생산성 간의 관계에 대한 실증분석: 17대 국회입법자료를 중심으로

초록

We study the relationship between parties’ candidate selection processes and legislative productivity. Utilizing the legislation data of the 17th National Assembly for which some of candidates were selected by the bottom-up selection process, we try to shed some light on how candidate selection methods affect what bills to propose, other party member’s countersignature,and the possibility that a bill passes on the floor. Furthermore, we examine how a legislator’s performance, especially the number of proposed bills and passed bills influences his/her chance of reelection. Anchored on our empirical analysis, we argue that it is desirable to adopt bottom-up candidate selection in all the levels of elections, hold National Assembly election and local elections in the same year, and revise campaign finance-related acts to enhance the legislative productivity.
