Replication Data for: Women's political empowerment and poverty reduction from a global perspective :Empirical analysis based on panel data

Clarifying the effect and mechanism of women's political empowerment on poverty reduction will help promote national poverty reduction and summarize the poverty reduction experience. On the basis of summarizing the theoretical literature on women's political empowerment and poverty reduction, this paper uses the global panel data (1993 – 2018) to establish a fixed effect model and a mediation effect model, and conducts a macro econometric test on the effect and mechanism of women's political empowerment on poverty reduction at the national level. The research found that women's political empowerment has a significant positive effect on national poverty, which is still valid in the instrumental variable model and robustness test. In addition, the poverty reduction effect of women's political empowerment is more prominent in countries with relatively low levels of economic development. The effectiveness of women's political empowerment can be achieved by improving the level of national integrity, promoting their economic empowerment and increasing government investment in education. The empirical analysis results verify that women's political empowerment can promote poverty reduction, and also provides potential policy inspiration for poverty reduction in the world's developing countries and rural revitalization in China.
