“…One of the most established stylized facts in the study of electoral systems is that the greater the district magnitude, the more proportional is the system (see, e.g., Lijphart ; Taagepera and Shugart ). Specifically, the relationship established is between a central tendency of district magnitude and the degree of proportionality in the country, commonly specified in one of three ways: average district magnitude in the country (e.g., Edwards and Thames ; Taagepera and Ensch ), median district magnitude (e.g., Carey and Hix ), and the magnitude of the district electing the median legislator (Amorim Neto and Cox ; Gabel and Scheve )…”
