Title in English
The size of local legislatures and women's political representation: evidence from Brazil
Abstract in English
Exploiting the exogenous changes in local legislature size at certain population thresholds in Brazil, this article investigates whether the number of legislators can impact the political participation of women, a group that is extremely underrepresented in Brazilian politics. The results suggest that the number of seats in the legislature has a significant positive impact on women's presence in the political sphere, and that these effects are direct consequences of changes in local political competition. This article also reports that the representation of women in the decision-making process influences the municipal provision of public goods and services.

Abstract in Portuguese
O presente trabalho explora mudanças exógenas no número de vereadores dos municípios brasileiros em certos cortes populacionais, a fim de investigar se o tamanho das Câmaras Municipais impacta a participação política de mulheres, um grupo consideravelmente subrepresentado no contexto político do Brasil. Os resultados sugerem que a presença feminina na política é significativamente afetada pelo número de legisladores municipais, e que esses efeitos são consequência direta de mudanças na competição política. O trabalho também apresenta evidências de que a representatividade feminina no processo de tomada de decisões dos governantes influencia a provisão de bens e serviços públicos.
