Disentangling conservation asymmetries through socio‐economic transboundary factors across the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest of South America
Ecoregions are often defined based on homogeneous biophysical and ecological conditions and are optimal spatial units for designing conservation strategies. However, transboundary ecoregions such as the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest (APAF) experience asymmetrical conservation outcomes, understood here as cross‐border differences, resulting from national land‐use policies and socio‐economic trajectories. We integrated literature review and spatial a…
Between Sticky Floors and Glass Ceilings: Trade Liberalization and Wage Inequality by Gender and Race in Brazil
We investigate how trade liberalization affects gender and racial pay inequalities in the short run. Guided by an intersectional perspective, and exploiting Brazil’s trade liberalization process (1988–95) as a natural experiment, we estimate overlapping effects across gender, race, and wage levels. On average, liberalization increased wages of nonwhite women relative to men and white women. However, this average effect masks substantial heterogen…
Economic shocks, gender, and populism: Evidence from Brazil
This paper investigates whether differential exposure to a labor market shock by gender contributed to the rise of far-right populism in Brazil. Using a shift-share approach, we find that gender heterogeneity in shock exposure predicts electoral outcomes. Male-specific labor demand shocks increase support for Jair Bolsonaro in the 2018 presidential election, but female-specific shocks have the reverse effect. These opposing effects are accompanie…
Gender and vulnerable employment in the developing world: Evidence from global microdata
This paper investigates gender inequality in vulnerable employment: forms of employment typically featuring high precariousness, inadequate earnings, and lack of decent working conditions. Using a large collection of harmonized household surveys from developing countries, we measure long-term trends, describe geographical patterns, and estimate correlates of gender inequalities in vulnerable employment. Conditional on individual and household cha…
What Drives Female Labour Force Participation? Comparable Micro-level Evidence from Eight Developing and Emerging Economies
We investigate the micro-level determinants of labour force participation of urban married women in eight low- and middle-income economies: Bolivia, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Jordan, South Africa, Tanzania, and Vietnam. In order to understand what drives changes and differences in participation rates since the early 2000s, we build a unified empirical framework that allows for comparative analyses across time and space. We find that the returns t…
