We use an implicit association test (IAT) to measure implicit gender attitudes and examine the malleability of these attitudes using a randomized field experiment and quasi-experimental data from Tunisia. Women that appear most conservative respond to a randomized video treatment by reducing...

Tunisia is among the most advanced countries in the Arab region in terms of women rights and legal reforms that shall strengthen the position of women....
