Book
Carrizosa, Andrés. 2023. Skewing Chaos: The Role of Political Parties in Paraguay’s Legislature. Springer Series in Electoral Politics. Cham: Springer.
It studies how parties influence lawmaking in the Paraguayan Congress, a case of legislative chaos, and proposes adding that chaos to theories of legislatures so they explain more cases.

Working papers
Duarte, Raúl, and Andrés Carrizosa. 2023. “Getting a seat at the (electoral) table: Partisan poll workers and electoral bias”. APSA Preprints.
Do party poll workers tilt the results? Using data from Paraguay’s 2018 general election, we find that they reduce their rivals’ votes and slightly increase their own party’s.
Carrizosa, Andrés. 2020. “The Dimensionality of Cosponsorship Behavior in the House of Representatives”. APSA Preprints.
Using Bayesian item response models, it shows that bill cosponsorship in the U.S. House of Representatives has more than one dimension, unlike roll-call votes.
