Replication data for: Mediated by Corporatism? The Effect of Left Partisanship on Wage Inequality

David Rueda’s article, “Left Government, Policy, and Corporatism: Explaining the Influence of Partisanship on Inequality,” (World Politics, Winter 2008), suggests that the ability of left governments to affect wage inequality is conditional on the level of corporatism. This research note discusses specification and data errors present in the original analysis. Using a revised model and new data, we find no evidence that corporatism plays a meaningful role in mediating the role of left government on wage inequality.
