  • This article introduces the measure of portfolio duration as an indicator for political stability in democratic parliamentary systems. It expands the discussion that has mostly focused on government durability and overall ministerial tenure in cabinet by the time a minister remains as head of a ministry. A newly compiled dataset covering all German Länder ministers for the period 1990-2010 is analyzed using descriptive statistics and a Cox-model. Empirical evidence shows significant differences between the Länder and the survival analysis verifies that aggregate factors describing the political landscape, like the type of government or the ideological distance between coalition members, influence portfolio duration much stronger than biographic characteristics do. Therefore, at least at the level of the German Länder political and institutional factors are of utmost relevance when it comes to political stability understood in terms of portfolio duration.
