Abstract

In the last two decades, several studies have investigated the relation-ship between the share of women in politics and the level of corruption, suggesting that women tend to be less involved in corrupt transactions than men. There are two major ways of explaining this relationship: one emphasizes differences between men and women in pro-social behaviour and the other, differences in risk-aversion.
