New Award – Quality of government and women’s political empowerment: Evidence from European Regions

The Regional Science Association International (RSAI) chose the Paper “Quality of government and women’s political empowerment: Evidence from European Regions” by Vicente Rios, Mercedes Beltrán‐Esteve, Lisa Gianmoena, Jesús Peiró‐Palomino and Andrés J Picazo‐Tadeo as the winner of the Martin Beckmann Prize as the best paper published in Papers in Regional Science in 2023.

This study proposes a novel contribution that shifts the research frontier of the literature on the quality of government, from a regional perspective, by emphasizing the relevance of the gender dimension. Referring to European regions, the authors produce valuable insights endorsed by precise quantitative evidence on the extent women’s political empowerment rises the quality of the government that, in turn, boosts female empowerment. From a technical viewpoint, this contribution implements a solid research methodology that addresses endogeneity with a tailored identification strategy by exploiting GS3SLS-RF method and dealing with spatial analysis in a causal framework.
