Princeton University — Journal of East Asian Studies
In this continuation of Esther Duflo’s in depth research from 1998-2008 on the impact of female leaders in India, the goal was to measure whether regions with a female Chief Minister (head of state) has resulted in an increase in education investment compared to the regions where men have remained dominant in leadership roles. To do this, six regions in India with female Chief Ministers are analyzed and six with male Ministers are analyzed for comparison. Regional government education and investment expenditure data from the Indian Government is used for analysis across states in India from 2003-2014. It is determined female leadership increases education investment at a statistically significant level (P Val = .1).
