Left Behind or Left In? Party Ideology and the Gender Gap in Candidate Persistence
The Race After the Race
Are Afrodescendant candidates more likely than white candidates to retire following electoral defeat? Numerous studies examine the emergence and electoral success of racial minority candidates, but we know remarkably little about how they respond to electoral defeat. There is reason to suspect that defeated racial minority candidates are less likely than defeated white candidates to run again because they are treated differently by political elit…
Three Is a Crowd
Successful coordination around a Duvergerian equilibrium requires accurate and consistent information about parties’ expected electoral support. In practice, such information is often unreliable and rarely available at the local level, thus hindering voters’ coordination. In this paper, we leverage Argentina’s Open, Mandatory, and Simultaneous Primary Elections as a large-scale survey of voter preferences. Using data from 135 municipalities in th…
Choosing legislative candidates via primaries
How much influence does incumbency have on the way parties nominate candidates? I address this question in the context of Argentina, examining how political parties decide on candidate nomination methods for National Deputies. I argue that holding the governorship creates an imbalanced distribution of resources within a party, leading party factions to lean toward consensus in candidate selection and reducing the likelihood of choosing a primary …
Unequal Resources, Unequal Careers
Do female candidates give up running for office after losing more readily than their male counter-parts? I address this question by employing a regression discontinuity between last winners and first losers in city council elections in Brazil. The results show that losing an election diminishes the chances of running again for both genders. However, the effect is large for women. I offer an explanation for this gender gap in rerunning by developi…
Does the early bird always get the worm? First round advantages and second round victories in Latin America
Candidate Experience and Electoral Success
Studies of how previous political experience affects a candidate’s electoral success have overlooked the experience that candidates get from running campaigns even if they lose. This article argues that experience running for office, whether successfully or unsuccessfully, could give candidates several benefits, such as expertise in running strong campaigns, a network of connections, and visibility among the electorate. As a result, candidate exp…
Gender and Family Ties in Latin American Legislatures
Are women disproportionately more likely than men to have family ties in politics? We study this question in Latin America, where legacies have been historically common, and we focus specifically on legislatures, where women's representation has increased dramatically in many countries. We hypothesize that, counter to conventional wisdom, women should be no more likely than men to have ties to political families. However, this may vary across leg…
