We analyze the impact of an increase in the risk of divorce on the saving behaviour of married couples. From a theoretical perspective, the expected sign of the effect is ambiguous. We take advantage of the legalization of divorce in Ireland in 1996 as an exogenous increase in the likelihood of...

This paper examines the role of spousal trust in intra-household decision making through its potential of inciting the creation of information asymmetries in the presence of resource unobservability. We experimentally elicit spousal trust and trustworthiness by means of a binary trust game to...

We implement a binary trust game between 211 married couples from lowincome households in urban India. In a separate experiment, these spouses randomly received either only a joint savings device (control) or, additionally, a device for individual usage (treatment). Combining data from both...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize healthcare delivery in the United States and around the world. As AI becomes an integral part of the healthcare workflow, it will change the way we model and analyze healthcare delivery and upend the paradigm that has dictated how...

We examine the question: “In the context of gender dimension what is the evidence of the impact of the financial inclusion programs on poor households represented by women relative to that represented by men?” By constructing a good counterfactual and comparison group, we employ the...

We use micro data from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to document how households’ taxliabilities vary with income, marital status and the number of dependents. We report facts onthe distributions of average and marginal taxes, properties of the joint distributions of taxespaid and income,...
