The impact of intimate partner violence on women’s labour market outcomes
研究亲密伴侣暴力如何影响女性参与劳动市场及就业类型，使用暴力史作为工具变量处理内生性，发现暴力会增加女性劳动参与，租金提取机制是主要解释。
This paper investigates the impact of intimate partner violence on the participation of women in the labour market and their access to employment in the form of being a wage worker, self-employed or unpaid family worker. To address the possibility of endogeneity, especially due to simultaneity, between intimate partner violence and female labour force participation, we use the history of violence, both of the woman and her partner, as instrumental variables. Our results provide evidence that intimate partner violence is associated with an increased probability of a woman participating in the labour market. Further analysis shows that the rent extraction mechanism is the most likely explanation for the positive relationship.
