Abstract This paper argues that the growing presence of a new type of man—one brought up
in a family in which the mother worked—has been a significant factor in the increase in
female labor force participation over time. We present cross-sectional evidence showing ...

Abstract Gender wage and employment gaps are negatively correlated across countries. We
argue that non-random selection of women into work explains an important part of such
correlation and thus of the observed variation in wage gaps. The idea is that, if women ...

Abstract In this work we, first, identify a few stylized facts concerning microconsumption acts.
Second, building on them, we develop a simple model of'boundedly rational'consumers who
endogenously evolve their preferences via both innovation and social imitation. Third, we ...

Over the past several decades, married women's hours of market work increased

Until the early decades of the 20th century, women spent more than 60% of their prime-age

Women have made important advances in labour markets. The distinctions between the
activities of single and married women are not as sharp as they used to be, and ambition to
do well in a job is no longer restricted to men. Have European nations done enough to ...

The purpose of this paper is to study the joint determination of gender differentials in labor

hypothesis that incentive problems in the labor market amplify differences in earnings due ...

We study the joint determination of gender differences in labor earnings and time devoted to
home production in an economy where informational frictions give rise to incentive problems
in the labor market. Our model generates novel predictions on the relation between ...

This paper argues that the evolution of male preferences contributed to the dramatic
increase in the proportion of working and educated women in the population over time. Male

The entry of married women into the labor force is one of the most notable economic
phenomena of the twentieth century. We argue that medical progress played a critical role in
this process. Improved maternal health alleviated the adverse effects of pregnancy and ...

This paper presents intergenerational evidence in favor of the hypothesis that a significant

US fertility rose from a low of 2.27 children for women born in 1908 to a peak of 3.21 children
for women born in 1932. It dropped to a new low of 1.74 children for women born in 1949,
before stabilizing for subsequent cohorts. We propose a novel explanation for this boom- ...
