What happened after the 19th amendment was ratified?

Counting Women’s Ballots
Check out my book with Christina Wolbrecht. We examine the voting behavior of newly enfranchised women in the first five presidential elections after the 1920 ratification of the 19th amendment. While new women voters don’t change the overall or national relative strength of the two major parties, we find that women enter the electorate as local partisans, making one party GOP states more Republican and one party Democratic states more Democratic. New women voters contribute to the diminishing vote share of third party alternatives after 1924.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
Susan Hoffmann and I co-authored a paper on the history and evolution of the housing Government-Sponsored Enterprises: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac: Where are they? How did they get there? We trace how the intersection of affordable housing policy, deregulation, and privatization ultimately caused the GSEs to fail.
Capital requirements and Basel III
The global financial crisis inspired a radical overhaul of international conventions for capital and liquidity requirements applied to banks. Did the reforms lead to a broad convergence in national approaches to bank regulation, or did the crisis experience lead national authorities to seek broader discretion to reign in risky lending and contain potential crises.
