Resum

Which legislators become specialized in particular policy areas (hedge-hogs), and which develop into policy generalists (foxes)? instead of focusing on the individual characteristics of MPs, we build on institutionalist literature and argue that an MP's specialization arises from an interaction between MP and par-liamentary leadership. these interactions generate demand for policy generalists depending on a leadership position, committee membership, government status, and parliamentary group size. Policy specialization is measured by how many different topics a legislator addresses in Parliament. using data from germany from 1998 to 2013, topic- coded parliamentary questions are combined with MPs' personal and partisan data. descriptively, foxes are common in germany and dominate in Parliament. the subsequent estimation indicates that policy special-ists are related to government status and parliamentary group size.
