Women as Policy Makers: Evidence from a Randomized Policy Experiment in India, 1998-2002

This data set uses political reservations for women in India to study the impact of women's leadership on policy decisions. Using a dataset we collected on 265 village councils in West Bengal and Rajasthan, we compare the type of public goods provided in reserved and unreserved village's councils. Data sets based upon information provided by GP Pradhans, local villagers, and the 1991 Indian Census.

本数据集以印度女性政治席位预留制度为研究主题，探究女性领导力对公共政策决策的影响。我们采用在印度西孟加拉邦与拉贾斯坦邦收集的265个村议会数据集，对比分析预留席位村议会与非预留席位村议会的公共物品供给类型。本数据集的信息来源于村务委员会主席（GP Pradhans）、当地村民以及1991年印度人口普查所提供的相关数据。
