Women mayors in the Slovak Republic in the last two decades: The municipalities size category perspective This paper presents the numeric representation of women mayors in 2,926 Slovak municipalities in the period 2002 -2022, covering six election periods concerning the municipalitiesʼ size. The accelerating increase of women mayors is unveiled, but the municipalitiesʼ size matters. The paper examines the development of the share of women mayors among municipal mayors in the Slovakia and focuses on the hypo-thesis, that there are fewer women mayors in larger municipalities. The woman mayor variable is examined regarding selected socio-economic, demographic, political, and geographic variables employing logistic analysis. Results of the logit and probit models support the research hypothesis of the decrease in the number of women mayors with an increase in the municipalitiesʼ size. The negative relationship between the size category of the municipality and women mayors is caused by the higher share of women mayors in small municipalities, while with an increase in the size category of the municipality, women mayors became rare. It supports the expectation, that men still predominate in the leadership of large municipalities.

We examine whether politicians avoid tax increases in election years. Using a pre-analysis plan and new data that distinguish between when taxes are legislated and when they come into force, we find that in an election year implemented gasoline and corporate income tax changes are smaller and enacted tax increases are less likely. We do not find evidence that these election effects depend on other political, demographic, or macroeconomic conditions, or on changes in overall legislative output in election years. These effects are stronger for gasoline taxes, consistent with a legislative response to the high political salience of gasoline taxes. JEL Codes: D72; D78; H24; H71; K34; P16
