/in /by

1.Chapter Seven, Exercise 7 from the textbook

2. From Chapter Seven, read the section on the marriage market premium from men (page 233). Can you explain why researchers have tried studying it using ‘shotgun’ marriages?

3. Consider the paper Gender Identity and Relative Income within Households, by Bertrand, Pan, and Kamenica. The study is described in the textbook on page 232, and the link to the paper is https://www.programme-presage.com/tl_files/ presage/docs/Publications/gender%20identity.pdf Read the Introduction section of the paper, especially page 4 (don’t worry if you find some of the details confusing, as long as you get the general idea), and the description of the paper in the book. Does it look like women who have better outside options are in fact facing worse outcomes within marriage (which is the opposite of what one would expect)?

4. Can you describe an experiment that would allow you to test whether there is any difference in boys’ and girls’ response to some kind of gender-based stereotype threat, between matrilineal and patriarchal societies?

5. We saw that in order to be able to measure the true effect of a policy change, we would need to observe both treatment and control groups before and after the change, and use a difference-in-difference strategy.

(a) What assumption would you need to make (or what would you need to observe in the data) in order to claim that you can correctly measure the effect of the policy change simply by comparing the treatment group before and after the change?

(b) What assumption would you need to make (or what would you need to observe in the data) in order to claim that you can correctly measure the effect of the policy change simply by comparing the treatment and the control group after the change? 1

6. Suppose a policy-maker is asking you for advice on which of the following two schemes to implement in a village in Africa: Scheme 1: All men who have children under 10 years get a monthly cash bonus of $100. Scheme 2: All women who have children under 10 years get a monthly cash bonus of $75. Which scheme would you recommend, based on the studies that we have seen so far? (It is fine if you do not have a strong recommendation, and instead want to list the pros and cons of each scheme).
