Does Early Educational Tracking Contribute to Gender Gaps in Test Achievement? A Cross-Country Assessment
On average, boys score higher on math achievement tests and girls score higher in reading; these gaps increase between primary and secondary school. Using PISA, PIRLS, and TIMSS data, we investigate the role of early educational tracking (sorting students into different types of secondary schools at an early age) on gender gaps in test achievement in a cross-country difference-in-differences framework. We find strong evidence that early tracking …
An Analysis of Women’s Underrepresentation in Undergraduate Economics
This paper is the first to give a comprehensive overview of the various conditions that deter women from pursuing an economics major and that contribute to the low numbers of female students in undergraduate economics. Explanations for women’s underrepresentation in undergraduate economics include a lack of female role models and mentors; misperceptions and misinformation about the discipline; the social climate in economics (classes); the scarci…
Economic Security and Fertility: Evidence from the Mincome Experiment
Le présent article, qui s’appuie sur des données expérimentales, analyse la relation entre la sécurité économique des ménages à faible revenu et leurs décisions en matière de fécondité. Entre 1974 et 1977, un essai contrôlé aléatoire a été mené au Manitoba, au Canada, dans lequel les groupes étudiés ont reçu différents niveaux de revenu annuel garanti. Toutes les personnes participantes au programme étaient issues de ménages à faible revenu. Il s…
The role of unpaid domestic work in explaining the gender gap in the (monetary) value of leisure
The value of travel time savings (VTTS) representing the willingness to pay to reduce travel time, consists of two components: the value of liberating time [equal to the value of leisure (VoL)] and the value of time assigned to travel (VTAT), representing the travel conditions of a trip. Their relative values indicate which dimension to emphasize when investing in transport: speed or comfort. In this paper, we formulate and estimate a framework a…
Intra-Couple Wealth Inequality: What’s Socio-Demographics Got to Do with it
Existing literature shows that on average and across countries, men have higher levels of wealth than women. However, very little is known about the gender-specific wealth gap within couples . This paper studies this phenomenon for the first time in Austria. The particular focus of the paper is on the relationship between the socio-demographic characteristics of the couple and the couple’s gender wealth gap. We focus on how age, education, marita…
Poverty in US Lesbian and Gay Couple Households
Poverty is a widely researched topic in economics. However, despite growing research on the economic lives of lesbians and gay men in the United States since the mid 1990s, very little is known about poverty in same-sex couple households. This study uses American Community Survey data from 2010 to 2014 to calculate poverty rates for households headed by different-sex versus same-sex couples. Comparing households with similar characteristics, the …
Lesbians: Social and Economic Situation
Birth Cohort and the Specialization Gap Between Same-Sex and Different-Sex Couples
We examine differences in household specialization between same-sex and different-sex couples within and across three birth cohorts: Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y. Using three measures of household specialization, we find that same-sex couples are less likely than their different-sex counterparts to exhibit a high degree of specialization. However, the “specialization gap” between same-sex and different-sex couples narrows across b…
Gender and Educational Attainment Across Generations in Austria
In many societies, children' educational attainment is heavily dependent on their parents' education; but that result can differ by the gender of both the parents and the child. Using a Markovian approach, along with uni- and multivariate econometric techniques, this study employs the Austrian Household Survey on Housing Wealth to show strong persistence in educational attainment that differs according to the gender of the parent and child. In Au…
