Regional favoritism : new data, larger sample, same pattern

Düben, Christian; Hodler, Roland; Raschky, Paul A. - 2026

Hodler and Raschky (2014) provide evidence for regional favoritism by documenting that subnational regions have more intense nighttime lights when they are the birth region of the country's current political leader than at other times. In this paper, we test the robustness of their findings...

Missing men and women's demand for political representation

Boelmann, Barbara; Stapper, Carola - 2026 - This version: March 2026

Over the past century, women have gained formal political rights, yet remain under-represented in leadership-partly due to lower demand for representation among women themselves. In this paper, we shift the perspective from why men extended political rights to women toward what shaped women's...

Keep it simple, stupid! : the determinants of language complexity in politicians’ parliamentary and online communication
