摘要：
Casas-Arce and Saiz (2015) study how gender quotas in candidate lists affect voting behavior using evidence from the introduction of quotas in the 2007 Spanish local elections in municipalities with more than 5,000 inhabitants. Using a difference-in-differences strategy, they show that parties that listed fewer female candidates in the previous election obtained more votes in the subsequent election in larger municipalities, a pattern that they attribute to the quota. We show robustness and placebo tests suggesting that the quota did not have an economically or statistically significant impact on voting behavior.
