This project analyzes the dynamic impacts of trade policy shocks with an SVAR approach, where identification is derived from heteroscedasticity in high frequency data, i.e. here daily, asset price data. This approach has not been applied in this case, according to our knowledge. These data provide enough observations to usefully apply a time-series analysis. Other advantages of the reliance on...

Many people live in patrilocal societies, which prescribe that women move in with their husbands’ parents, relieve their in-laws from housework, and care for them in old age. This arrangement is likely to have labor market consequences, in particular for women. We study the effect of coresidence on female labor supply in Kyrgyzstan, a strongly patrilocal setting. We account for the endogeneity of coresidence ...
