Abstract [en]

The purpose of this paper was to analyze the effect of representation of women in parliamentsand economic growth in three different regions. The regions which were analyzed wereEurope, Latin America, Russia and Central Asia. Based on previous research’s results, thequestion whether women in parliamentary settings affect economic growth and wealth wasexamined. A regression model adapted to panel data analysis was used on data obtained fromreliable sources like the World Bank and the UN. The variables used in the regression modelwere real GDP per capita, real GDP per capita growth, share of females in parliamentarypositions, trade, investment and Women, Business and the Law index (WBL). Justification ofthe variables are based in previous research which alludes to theoretical economicalframeworks. This study contributes to the institutional variable of the WBL indicator. Due tothe scale of the study, the results have varied across different regions, but the overall relationbetween women in power and economic growth was deemed positive. Explicit normsregarding accessibility to economical, political and judicial institutions have a greater impacton real GDP per capita than female parliamentary representation.
