Commuting to Work and Gender-Conforming Social Norms: Evidence from Same-Sex Couples
Oreffice, Sonia; Sansone, Dario - 2022
We assess the role of gender-conforming social norms in household decision-making and gender inequalities in the labor market with a parsimonious household model that endogenizes commuting time. Using the American Community Survey 2008-2019, we test the model predictions and find that women in...
