year = {2018},
note = {The committees of the Bundestag are often understood as the place
where the real work of parliament takes place. Surprisingly, they have
not been studied very thoroughly in empirical political science. This
is, in part, due to their work not being public. Here the relevance of
committees along the policy cycle are discussed and numerous
approaches for deeper investigation are introduced. Better data access
and new analysis methods will facilitate this. The committees have a
great relevance throughout the policy process, but they are neither
mere actors nor arenas. Instead they are institutions that structure
the separation of labour in policy making.},
