The objective of this project is to analyze from a theoretical and empirical point of view the behavior of the opposition in the parliamentary sphere in Spain, from 1982 to at present. For this, we complement the studies that already exist on voting and parliamentary control activity, with the analysis of other initiatives that have so far been little explored, such as amendments to legislation or the proposals of the law. Some of the questions we want to answer are the following: Do the opposition groups present a significantly different number of amendments to the legislation presented by the government? Are these amendments efficient, that is, do they significantly transform the legislative initiatives? Do the parties follow a model of responsible opposition, participating in the formulation of policies, or on the contrary, their parliamentary strategy is based more on criticizing the action of the government without making an effort to propose public policy alternatives? Do the major (mainstream) parties follow a significantly different parliamentary opposition strategy than other parties? Do interest groups influence legislative proposals and/or amendments introduced by opposition groups? Events such as the economic crisis and the entry of new parties into parliament make the analysis of these issues particularly relevant.

Fifteen years ago, the courts in Spain adopted around 80% of requests for protection orders due to gender-based violence, and the number of judges who decided on very different percentages from this (judicial inequality) tended to be quite short In 2018, the percentage of adoption of protection orders is 5 points lower, and judicial inequality has doubled both at the level of courts and by region. Paradoxically, female judges represent 70% of the courts of first instance in Spain, and they decide on most requests for protection orders. Using rich data from diverse sources (most of them public), the project develops a quantitative strategy to deal with this phenomenon and explore the causes and consequences of judicial inequality. The main research question of the project is whether (and to what extent) male and female judges make decisions on cases differently, and how these differences interact with institutional design to shape judicial inequality in Spain.
