Data for Daughters and left-wing voting

Listed in figshare

What determines human beings' political preferences?

Description

Using nationally representative longitudinal data, we show that having daughters makes people more likely to vote for left-wing political parties. Having sons leads people to favor right-wing parties.

The paper checks that our result is not an artifact of family stopping rules, discusses the predictions from a simple economic model, and tests for possible reverse causality.<br><br>Data record consists of 4 data files, in .do format, and a readme file. The data files (British Household Panel Survey, Waves 1-14) can be downloaded from data-archive.ac.uk/. For more detailed information, see also the BHPS website: iser.essex.ac.uk/survey/bhps.

The four .do files are required to merge, clean and estimate the data. Step 1: Merge household and individual files Step 2: Merge children and generate daughter variables Step 3: Merge all files and clean Step 4: Estimation
