Abstract

We test the effect of an important electoral reform implemented in Italy from 1993 to 2001, that moved\r\nthe system for electing the Parliament from purely proportional to a plurality rule (for 75% of the seats).\r\nWe do not find any effect on either the number of parties or the stability of governments (the two main\r\nobjectives of the reform) that remained unchanged at their pre-reform level.
