Replication data for: Malapportionment and Income Inequality: A Cross-National Analysis

Samuels and Snyder (2001) in their recent article in British Journal of Political Science presented an index of malapportionment (i.e., the discrepancy between seat shares and population shares by electoral districts) in national legislatures for seventy-eight countries. This short Research Note merges their index with the Gini index, a commonly used measure of income inequality, and explores cross-nationally the relationship between inequality in political representation and inequality in economic conditions.
