Swedish Women's Representation and Welfare State Data, 1919-1937

Replication data for a study on the historical relationship between women's political representation and welfare state building in Sweden. The package contains all data and code to reproduce cross-sectional (1919 election) and panel (1919–1937) analyses. Author Moa Frödin Gruneau published this replication package via Harvard Dataverse in April 2026.
