“…Ballots are no longer fused, congressional elections switched from closed-list to open-list, and the level of voter identification with the Liberal and National Parties dropped significantly (Ruhl 2010;Taylor-Robinson 2003. But these two parties continued to dominate presidential, congressional, and municipal elections (Coleman and Argueta 2008;Taylor-Robinson 2007).…”

“…Although the percentage of women with family ties dropped, it does not mean that the quota system diluted the advantages of family ties for women (or men) entirely. In fact, for the 2006–10 legislature, the deputy who won the largest number of votes was a woman, Lizzy Flores (Liberal Party), the daughter of the former president Carlos Flores (Taylor-Robinson 2007). What the evidence may suggest, however, is that the prevalence of political legacies in the country benefits women and men in more similar ways (Freidenberg 2019, 22).…”

Are women disproportionately more likely than men to have family ties in politics? We study this question in Latin America, where legacies have been historically common, and we focus specifically on legislatures, where women's representation has increased dramatically in many countries. We hypothesize that, counter to conventional wisdom, women should be no more likely than men to have ties to political families. However, this may vary across legislatures with and without gender quotas. Our empirical analysis uses data from the Parliamentary Elites of Latin America survey. We find more gender similarities than differences in legislators’ patterns of family ties both today and over the past 20 years. We also find that women are more likely to have family ties than men in legislatures without gender quotas, whereas this difference disappears in legislatures with quotas.

“…The official results for the Argentine Chamber of Deputies in 2007 are only available at the district level (Poder Judicial de la Nación, República Argentina). For the problem in publishing vote shares in the 2005 Honduran elections, see Taylor-Robinson (2007). The Ecuadorian election authority (Tribunal Supremo Electoral) does not provide information on the 2002 election.…”

Studies on retrospective voting argue that voters under presidentialism tend to assign co-responsibility for the president’s performance to her party in congressional elections. However, it is not uncommon for presidential parties to distance themselves from an unpopular president or for opposition parties to cooperate with a popular president. In doing so, parties can signal to voters that they side with a popular (or against an unpopular) president. Yet little is known about whether this strategic behavior has electoral payoffs. This study proposes a popularity-response model, where parties’ electoral outcomes are a product of how they respond to public opinion on the president. I hypothesize that parties defecting from an unpopular president (or cooperating with a popular president) minimize electoral losses and obtain a further electoral boost. Analysis using an original dataset coding issue congruence between presidents and parties prior to 35 elections in 18 Latin American countries supports this claim.
