# C Mechanisms

## C.1 Predictability of media coverage

Figure C.1 illustrates a clear positive relationship between performance and media coverage. Furthermore, drawing from the literature on contests for multiple prizes (Moldovanu and Sela, 2001), one might consider that MPs' incentives depend on their exact rankings, leading them to set specific targets. For instance, they might aim to avoid ranking near the bottom, as these positions tend to attract more scrutiny. However, the analysis presented in this appendix indicates that such complex strategic behavior is unlikely, as the specifics of coverage are too unpredictable to be effectively manipulated.

We examine the impact of specific ranking positions on MPs' press coverage in Table C.16. Specifically, we attempt to predict the likelihood of an MP being mentioned in the press based on their ranking. The results presented are for the model with the best predictive power, which includes both time and MP-legislature fixed effects. While certain positions do appear to influence coverage, the effects are minimal, and the low $R^2$ values confirm that media coverage remains largely unpredictable.

This unpredictability stems from several factors. First, the timing of press articles cannot be forecasted, and MPs cannot predict which of their indicators will be covered. There is also some uncertainty in the tone of coverage, as a performance can be compared to various benchmarks, including legislative, party, or regional averages. Figure C.1 illustrates this point, showing that MPs sometimes receive coverage that does not reflect their rankings. This is further demonstrated by the examples in the press article in Appendix A.3, where two MPs from neighboring districts are compared. For one indicator, both MPs are praised for ranking in the top 150 of the legislature; for another, the journalist directly compares the two, deeming one superior; and for a third indicator, one MP is noted as excelling while the performance of the other is not mentioned.

Consequently, we believe it is unlikely that MPs engage in forecasting how performance indicators will be covered and strategically adjust their efforts accordingly. This also implies that MPs cannot anticipate their media coverage, although if they did, it would likely result in an underestimation of our findings. In Appendix C.1, we examine potential predictability in coverage by analyzing MP rankings to test whether some of them are more likely to be mentioned than others. We argue that it is unlikely MPs can anticipate how performance indicators will be covered and strategically adjust their efforts in advance. This uncertainty may help explain the limited effect of individual mentions: MPs may hesitate to exert additional effort if the impact on future coverage remains unclear. This supports the interpretation proposed in Section 3: when an article on performance indicators is published, MPs update their expectations about the likelihood of future coverage and subsequently increase their efforts. However, personal mentions do not provide additional information that would guide the MPs mentioned in further increasing their performance.
## C.2 Written questions

This section details our identification of copy-pasted questions. We extract the 262,283 written questions from Noseputes.fr for MPs and 64,476 written questions from Nossenateurs.fr, covering the entire period studied (2007-2020). The example of copy-pasted questions at the end of this appendix reveals small differences, such as names, pronouns, and dates. Testing if questions are exactly identical would fail to detect these cases. Hence, we use cosine similarity to infer which questions are copy-pasted, in the spirit of Cagé et al. (2020) and Bertrand et al. (2021). For a more detailed overview of text analysis methods with algorithms in economics, see Ash and Hansen (2023).

We eliminate the beginning of each question, which lists the name of the sender and recipient. We also eliminate words that appear only in one question and those that appear in more than 80% of the sample, as they are not informative. Then, we use a term frequency-inverse document frequency function (TF-IDF) to transform each question into a vector where each word is assigned a weight based on its frequency in a specific document and its rarity across all documents. Each vector has a length corresponding to the number of unique words in the question sample. The weight $w_{iq}$ is computed from the count $c_{iq}$ of word $i$ in question $q$ as follows:

$$w_{iq} = c_{iq} \times \left[ \log \left( \frac{N+1}{n_i+1} \right) + 1 \right]$$

where $n_i$ in the number of question containing word $i$ and $N$ is the total number of questions.

Then, we use cosine similarity to measure the similarity between two questions by calculating the cosine of the angle between their vector representations. For any given document vectors $v_i$ and $v_j$, this is:

$$\theta_{ij} = \frac{v_i \cdot v_j}{\|v_i\| \|v_j\|}$$

$\theta_{ij}$ ranges between 0 ($v_i$ and $v_j$ are totally different) and 1 ($v_i$ and $v_j$ are exactly the same).

For each question $q$, we compute its similarity with all other questions asked in the same week and before. Then, we categorize each question as follows:

* Copy-paste (strict): at least one question asked previously has a similarity higher than 0.9 with $q$, but no question asked in the same week has a similarity greater than 0.9 with $q$

* Copy-paste (extended): at least one question asked previously has a similarity higher than 0.9 with $q$, and/or at least one question asked in the same week has a similarity greater than 0.9 with $q$

* Original: no question asked previously nor in the same week has a similarity greater than 0.9 with $q$

As questions are recorded on a weekly basis, it is impossible to determine which of two identical questions submitted in the same week is the original. Copy-paste (strict) considers
questions to be copy-pasted only if they were submitted in a previous week; identical questions submitted in the same week are not considered copy-pasted. Copy-paste (extended) classifies identical questions submitted in the same week as copy-pasted.

To manage the high computational cost of comparing each question with all other questions asked during the legislature, we employ a dimensionality-reduction algorithm, specifically Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA). LSA reshapes questions in terms of *D* latent subjects, where *D* is less than *m*, the total number of words used over the whole legislature. We stack the weights *w*<sub>iq</sub> of the TF-IDF function into a large and sparse feature-document matrix *A* of dimensions *N* × *m* (where *N* is the number of questions and *m* is the number of words) and apply a truncated singular value decomposition (SVD) to produce a rank *D* approximation of *A*:

$$A \approx U_D \Sigma_D V_D^T$$

where $U_D$ is the truncated question-topic matrix, $\Sigma_D$ is a diagonal matrix containing the *D* largest singular values of *A*, $V_D^T$ is the truncated words-topic matrix. We keep $U_D \Sigma_D$ as the set of LSA document vectors. The output is a question-topic matrix where each question is represented by how much it belongs to each topic, weighted by the importance of each topic. For each question *q*, we compute its similarity (using topic vectors) with all other questions asked in the legislature (before or after).

We report the resulting descriptive statistics in Panel A of Table C.17.

**Example of copy-pasted questions.** The following questions, translated by ChatGPT, are identified as identical. We infer that the second question, published later, is a copy-paste of the first one. Screenshots from the National Assembly website in French are provided in Appendix Figure C.3. The differences are highlighted in bold in the translation and in red in the screenshots.

First question asked on May 8, 2018 (accessed here):

M. Martial Saddier draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the effective implementation of advanced practice nursing in France. Article 119 of Law No. 2016-41 of January 26, 2016, on the modernization of our healthcare system has defined the legal framework for advanced practice. In order to address the major challenges of the French healthcare system, which faces an explosion of chronic diseases requiring long-term care, with follow-up by healthcare professionals, and in the face of the worrying increase in medical deserts, the Parliament wanted the scopes of practice **for healthcare professionals to be redefined by creating new intermediate-level health professions** (between the 8-year medical degree and the 3-4-year degrees of paramedical professionals, particularly nurses). Present since the 1960s in the **United States** and Canada, as well as in the United Kingdom and Ireland, these advanced practice nurses are recognized with broader competencies, including prescribing, renewing, and adjusting treatments, and performing procedures, provided they have undergone
additional master's-level training. These professionals play an important first-line role in remote areas. However, the implementing decree, which has still not been published more than two years after the law was enacted, is reportedly keeping the physician in a central role and not granting the advanced practice nurse the full autonomy needed to meet the healthcare needs of citizens. Therefore, he asks her to indicate what the Government plans to do to establish in France a true intermediate profession of advanced practice nurse with sufficient autonomy to adequately care for patients.

### C.3 Number of interventions

This section outlines the methodology we used to analyze the distribution of word counts. We extracted the transcripts of plenary sessions for the entire period studied (2007-2020), totaling 1,428,892 interventions, along with committee sessions, which amount to 400,675 interventions, from the National Assembly's website. Each intervention is delimited in the transcripts and linked to the name of the MP who made it, allowing us to associate interventions with individual MPs.
We calculated the number of words in each intervention. For both plenary sessions and committee meetings, we computed the shares of weekly interventions by each MP across different word count categories: interventions of 20 words or less, between 21 words and the 75th percentile of the word count distribution, and more than the 75th percentile of the word count distribution. This analysis focuses on MPs who made at least one intervention during the week. We present the descriptive statistics of the variables in Panel B of Table C.17.

We remind readers that Nosdeputes.fr classifies interventions of 20 words or fewer as short interventions, while those exceeding 20 words are categorized as long interventions. These categories only apply to interventions in plenary sessions.

**Notes:** Observations are the activity of MPs or Senators in a given week. Panel A and B: *Written questions*: total number of written questions. *Ratio copyp. (strict)*: share of questions asked by the legislator during the week classified as strict copy-paste, i.e., identical to another question submitted in a previous week. *Ratio copyp. (extended)*: share of questions classified as extended copy-paste, i.e., identical to another question submitted in a previous week or during the current week. *New written questions*: number of original written questions asked by the legislator during the week. *Length*: average length (in words) of questions asked by the legislator during the week, provided the legislator asked at least one question. See Subsection C.2 for details on how we identify copy-pasting and new questions. Panel C: Rows 1 to 3 report data on interventions in plenary sessions, and rows 4 to 6 on interventions in committee, including only MPs who made at least one intervention in both cases. *Share ≤ 20*: Share of interventions with a number of words inferior or equal to 20 (classified as short interventions). *Share 21 - top 75% words*: Share of interventions containing between 21 words and the 75th percentile of the word count distribution. *Share > top 75% words*: Share of interventions with a number of words strictly greater than the 75th percentile of the word count distribution.

<caption>Figure C.1: Press coverage by quintile of activity</caption>

**Notes:** We plot the monthly number of indicator mentions in the press for each quantile of the distribution of weeks of activity (as computed by Nosdeputes.fr) over the past 12 months. For example, the 20% of MPs with the lowest number of weeks of activity receive an average of 5 mentions per month. Furthermore, over 70% of these mentions have a negative tone.

**Notes:** We plot density estimates of the number of words in interventions during plenary sessions and committees using the Epanechnikov kernel function. The distributions are displayed separately for periods before and after the website's launch in September 2009. To ensure that observed differences are not driven by changes in the composition of the National Assembly, we focus on the 2007–2012 legislature. We do not display the top 5% of the distribution.
## Question écrite n°8199 : Statut d'infirmier de pratique avancée

15ème Législature

Publication de la question au Journal Officiel du 8 mai 2018, page 3849

Publication de la réponse au Journal Officiel du 22 mai 2018, page 4320

Question de : M. Martial Saddier (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes - Les Républicains)

M. Martial Saddier attire l'attention de Mme la ministre des solidarités et de la santé sur la mise en œuvre effective en France de la pratique avancée infirmière. L'article 119 de la loi n° 2016-41 du 26 janvier 2016 de modernisation de notre système de santé a défini le cadre légal de l'exercice en pratique avancée. Afin de répondre aux défis majeurs du système de santé français confronté à une explosion des maladies chroniques nécessitant une prise en charge au long cours, avec un suivi par les professionnels de santé, et face à l'accroissement inquiétant des déserts médicaux, le Parlement a voulu que soient redéfinis les périmètres d'exercice des professionnels de santé en créant de nouveaux métiers en santé de niveau intermédiaire (entre le bac +8 du médecin et le bac+3-4 des professionnels paramédicaux notamment des infirmières). Présents depuis les années 1960 aux États-Unis et au Canada, mais aussi au Royaume-Uni ou en Irlande, ces infirmiers de pratique avancée se voient reconnaître des compétences plus étendues, notamment de prescription, de renouvellement et d'adaptation de traitements, de réalisation d'actes, moyennant une formation supplémentaire de niveau master. Ces professionnels jouent un rôle important de premier recours dans les zones reculées. Or le décret d'application qui, plus de deux ans après la promulgation de la loi, n'est pas encore publié est annoncé comme conservant au médecin un rôle central et ne conférant pas à l'infirmier de pratique avancée toute l'autonomie requise pour apporter la réponse nécessaire aux besoins de santé des citoyens. Il lui demande donc de bien vouloir lui indiquer ce que le Gouvernement envisage pour que soit créé en France un véritable métier intermédiaire d'infirmier de pratique avancée doté de l'autonomie suffisante pour bien prendre en charge les patients.
