In 1999, Kathleen Hall Jamieson of the Annenberg School for Communications, University of Pennsylvania, was awarded a large grant to fund a survey-based study of the 2000 presidential election. In anticipation of that study, and to help in its design, a colloquium was held in the Fall of 1999, titled “What's a Good Election Study, and What Are Election Studies Good for?” The chapters contained in Election Studies: What's Their Use? are the product of that colloquium.
