Essays in political economy
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In this dissertation, I study how elections -- and electoral rules, in particular -- shape the selection of candidates with distinct attributes into office. I examine how electoral rules applied to local politics -- the very first rung of the tall ladder of political careers -- shape the nature of electoral competition by affecting female candidates' career trajectories and allowing independent candidates without a partisan affiliation to thrive. I do so using modern causal inference techniques and introduce new methods to study heterogeneous effects in close elections.
