India has emerged as the fastest-growing nation in recent years, and rising inequality may obstruct this path, leading to serious socio-economic challenges.

Despite increasing female labor force participation, gender differences in non-market work, such as housework and childcare, persist. By exploiting exogenous variation in the questionnaire of the German Socio-Economic Panel, I analyze how response behavior affects estimates of time use in a longitudinal setting. I find a causal impact of questionnaire design on the reported hours of non-market work ...

Given the renewed scholarly interest in the crafts, this paper explores the nuances of crafts entrepreneurship through a personality-based approach. Our findings validate prior research on the general influence of broad and narrow personality traits on self-employment. However, our analysis also suggests that certain effects differ between crafts and non-crafts, most notably the role of the Big Five ...
