Abstract

Pauline’s research deals with how culture and institutions shape institutions and economic behaviour. Her recent projects focus on the origins and persistence of gender roles. In this webinar, Pauline will discuss some of her work on the effects of biased sex ratios using 18th and 19th century Australian economy data. The talk will cover themes such as the role of vertical cultural transmission and marriage homogamy on the persistence of uneven sex ratios consequences on labour supply decisions and occupational choices.
