  • Women in congress: an analysis of topic differences between genders through Natural Language Processing

    Barcelona Graduate School of Economics

    The purpose of this paper is to discover the differences between men and women regarding the topics discussed in the United States Congress. This paper explores both the
    distribution of topics discussed among men and women in terms of frequency as well as
    how those topics are discussed from a content perspective. In order to do so, Natural Language Processing techniques have been applied to a unique data set which comprised of

    The purpose of this paper is to discover the differences between men and women regarding the topics discussed in the United States Congress. This paper explores both the
    distribution of topics discussed among men and women in terms of frequency as well as
    how those topics are discussed from a content perspective. In order to do so, Natural Language Processing techniques have been applied to a unique data set which comprised of
    the daily records of the United States Congress from the 97th session (1981-1983) to the
    114th session (2015-2016). A Structural Topic Model with more than 2,500,000 documents have been estimated identifying that, even when controlling for the party, chamber,
    year, state and whether the candidate won in a close election, Congresswomen talk significantly more about Health, Budget/Taxes, Infrastructure and Technology, Emergency Relief/Refugees, Foreign Governments, Agriculture/Water, Election Reform, Human Rights,
    and Crime, while Congressmen talk significantly more about The Constitution, War, The
    Economy/Natural Disasters, Funding of Departments and National Parks. Furthermore,
    within topics women are more likely to focus on how the legislation they are discussing
    will affect citizens and individual lives, whereas men focus on the general discussion and
    administrative aspect of the legislation. These differences appear to be consistent over the
    past four decades

    Instituto de Economía, Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Administración, Universidad de la República

    In order to contribute in the understanding of the factors that account for the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields and courses in Uruguay; discrete choice models (probit) and multinomial logistic models have been estimated using a retrospective survey applied in 2014 to Uruguayan young students who took the PISA test in 2009. Demonstrating that there is an existing leaky pipeline.
