Gender pay gap means fewer female candidates on ballot

Bocconi University A new study by Thomas Le Barbanchon and Julien Sauvagnat, two Associate Professors at Bocconi University, published in the Journal of the European Economic Association, finds that electoral districts with a larger gender pay gaps show favoritism toward male political candidates in Parliamentary elections, with fewer female candidates on the ballot. Professors Le Barbanchon and Sauvagnat gathered data for seven parliamentary elections in France between 1988 and 2017. They studied candidates from the Left and Right political coalitions, which account for 80% of elected members of Parliament. The researchers consulted administrative and web data on candidates and electoral outcomes, survey data on voters’ attitude towards gender, as well as census data on earnings, and voters’ demographics across electoral districts.
