Abstract

This panel welcomes empirical papers seeking to shed light on the varying levels of descriptive representation of women and minorities in parliament and specifically the consequences thereof. Possible consequences have been discussed in theoretical as well as empirical analysis: a more effective representation of women by women or of minorities by minorities as well as a diversification of the interests of female and minority representatives beyond their group specific issues.
