评估“解放的引擎”：家用电器与女性劳动参与
- 研究问题
- 家用电器相对价格下降能在多大程度上解释女性劳动参与率上升，其作用能否与收入等其他结构性因素区分？
- 方法与思路
- 作者利用新建的跨国家电价格数据，加入国家和时间等控制，并以制成品价格指数及贸易条件调整作为工具变量。
- 材料陈述的贡献
- 摘要称，家电降价显著提高女性劳动参与；对英国的估算表明，其解释了 1975—1999 年参与率增幅的约 10% 至 15%。
- 阅读关注点
- 应核对工具变量的相关性与排除限制、家电相对价格的可比性，以及趋势和其他经济变化是否充分得到控制。
- 阅读边界
- 摘要未说明工具变量有效性的完整论证和估计不确定性；所述比例属于特定国家与时期的估算，不能直接外推。
原文摘要
The secular rise in female labor force participation, highlighted in the recent macroeconomics literature on growth and structural change, has been associated with the declining price and wider availability of home appliances. This paper uses a new and unique country data set on the price of home appliances to test its impact on female labor supply. We assess the role of the price of appliances in raising participation by comparing it to other structural determinants such as average male income. A decrease in the relative price of appliances-the ratio of the price of appliances to the consumer price index-leads to a substantial and statistically significant increase in female labor force participation. In the United Kingdom, for instance, the decline in the relative price of home appliances alone accounts for about 10% to 15% of the increase in female labor force participation from 1975 to 1999. This result is robust to the inclusion of additional controls, such as country dummies, time trend, government spending, and the growth rate of real GDP. To assess causality, we test for exogeneity and use the manufactured price index and the terms of trade adjustment as instrumental variables confirming that lower appliance prices lead to increased female participation.
