[MIÉRCOLES] Seminario Economía PUJ: José Guerra (Universidad de los Andes)

[Nicolas Alejandro Lillo Bustos]

Estimados colegas,

 

Junto con saludarlos, los invito al Seminario de Economía de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. Este se realizará el miércoles via Zoom. A continuación, los detalles del seminario:

 

• Invitado: José Guerra (Universidad de los Andes) (link al sitio web personal)
• Coautores: Oscar Becerra (Universidad de los Andes)
• Título: Valuing personal safety and the gender earnings gap (Link al paper)
• Abstract: Are there gender differences in the willingness to pay (WTP) for safer jobs? Using a laboratory experiment, we elicit participants’ WTP for an early (perceived ‘safer’) on-site shift. We find that women forego larger earnings in order to secure an early shift more than men do, with a safety concern about the late shift being a key driver, explaining up to 20% of the estimated gender gap. We do not observe a gender gap if the job can be completed remotely. Results are robust to controlling for morning-types, household and demographic characteristics, attitudes toward risk and uncertainty, victimization, and information provision about crime. Controlling for crime exposure reduces the estimated gender gap. Thus, policies that reduce gender disparities in safety concerns may affect women’s labor supply.
