Female labour, status and decision power
研究了女性劳动供给与家庭决策权的关系，发现当社会规范对妻子工作的负面评价较高时，两者呈负相关，基于印度面板数据验证。
Abstract This paper investigates the role of (perceived or own) norm cost in the relationship between female labour supply and decision power, which we define as the say that women have in major household decisions. We propose a model where female labour supply and decision power are set jointly following a bargaining process. Taking into account the fact that men may lose status when having a working wife, we show that decision power and female labour supply can be negatively correlated. We test the predictions of our model using Indian panel data. We find that the relationship is negative in contexts where the norm cost of having a working wife is high.
