Alex Acs

Alex Acs studies how government regulatory agencies make decisions and how outside groups—like businesses and lobbyists—try to influence that process. The work often involves building statistical measures of political positions (such as 'ideal points' for agencies) and examining interactions between the presidency, Congress, courts, and federal bureaucracies. This research is quantitative and data-driven, frequently accompanied by publicly shared datasets and replication code.

Publication output was highly concentrated around 2019-2020 (including many linked datasets), with only sporadic single publications in most other years of the past decade, suggesting a slowing or irregular recent cadence.
