The Gender Wage Gap and Domestic Violence
利用女性主导行业劳动力需求的外生变化，研究发现缩小男女工资差距能减少家庭暴力，支持家庭议价模型，表明同工同酬还能通过减少暴力改善女性健康。
Three quarters of all violence against women is perpetrated by domestic partners. This study exploits exogenous changes in the demand for labor in female-dominated industries to estimate the impact of the male-female wage gap on domestic violence. Decreases in the wage gap reduce violence against women, consistent with a household bargaining model. These findings shed new light on the health production process as well as observed income gradients in health and suggest that in addition to addressing concerns of equity and efficiency, pay parity can also improve the health of American women via reductions in violence.
