Gender In Politics, Sheri L. Kunovich, Pamela Paxton, Melanie M. Hughes

Sociology Research

Women’s political participation and representation vary dramatically within and between countries. We selectively review the literature on gender in politics, focusing on women’s formal political participation.

We discuss both traditional explanations for women’s political participation and representation, such as the supply of women and the demand for women, and newer explanations such as the role of international actors and gender quotas.

Throughout the review we demonstrate that a full understanding of women’s political representation requires both deep knowledge of individual cases such …

More than a thoughtful reflection on science, however, the heart of philosophy is also at stake in …

A Critique Of The Granger Representation Theorem, Edgar J. Wilson

Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)

The Granger representation theorem states that if a set of nonstationary variables are cointegrated then they can be characterized as generated by an error correction mechanism. This paper uses the continuous time equivalent representation for two variables to demonstrate the relatively large number of restrictions required to represent a cointegrating relationship as an error correction mechanism. It is shown that the restrictions result from placing too much importance on the long run, which excludes interesting and possibly important short run dynamics. This is surprising because these restrictions are at odds with the a-theoretical vector autoregressive approach, which criticises the ad-hoc …
