Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
I elicit causal effects of spousal observability and communication on financial
choices of married individuals in the Philippines. When choices are private,
men put money into their personal accounts. When choices are observable,
men commit money to consumption for their own benefit. When required to
communicate, men put money into their wives' account. These strong treatment
effects on men, but not women, appear related more to control than to gender:
men whose wives control household savings respond more strongly to the treatment
and women whose husbands control savings exhibit the same response.
Changes in information and communication interact with underlying control to
produce mutable gender-specific outcomes. (JEL D13, D14, J12, J16, O15)
