Karen Macours

Résumé

this paper analyzes the long-term impacts of reservation of local political seats for women onchildren’s learning outcomes in rural andhra pradesh. using the random rotation of seats reservedfor women over different election cycles, and three rounds of a panel dataset, we analyze theimpact of exposure to political reservation during critical periods of childhood. the paper showsthat the reservation policy for female leaders had the largest impact on learning outcomes ofprimary school children when they were exposed to reservation very early in life. these resultscan be explained by improved health and nutrition in utero and during the first years of life.
