Exploring the Sources of Gender Gaps in Policy Preferences

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the causes and consequences of gender gaps in policy preferences in the United States. While explaining the causes of gender gaps requires drawing from a wide array of fields, ranging from biology to economics, understanding their origins and consequences does much to further empirical research in public opinion and mass behavior.
