Gender and Rural Non-Farm Entrepreneurship (2012, background): “In addition, consistent with a U-shaped relationship between female labor market participation and development (Mammen and Paxson, 2000) gender gaps in labor participation are lowest in the two poorest countries, Ethiopia and Bangladesh, which nonetheless score lower on the aggregate gender parity…”
Manufacturing Growth and the Lives of Bangladeshi Women (2015, neutral): “The remarkable growth in this export-oriented sector in Bangladesh is emblematic of the large expansion in low-skill manufacturing jobs around the developing world over the last fifty years (Mammen and Paxson, 2000).”
Does Economic Advancement ‘Cause’ a Re-increase in Fertility? An Empirical Analysis for OECD Countries (1960–2007) (2014, background): “which come along with economic development from a certain level of development on (Boserup 1970; Goldin 1994; Cagatay and Özler 1995; Galor and Weil 1996; Mammon and Paxson 2000; Luci 2009).”
What Explains Uneven Female Labor Force Participation Levels and Trends in Developing Countries? (2019, neutral): “At this stage of development, the substitution effect linked to much higher potential female wages dominates the income effect, and female labor force participation is positively related to per capita income (Psacharopoulos and Tzannatos 1989; Goldin 1990, 1995; Mammen and Paxson 2000).”
Why is Female Labour Force Participation Declining so Sharply in India (2014, background): “The second hypothesis is based on the literature on long-run changes in female labour supply which observes that there is a U-shaped relationship between national income and female labour force participation, see Lincove (2008) and Mammen and Paxson (2000).”
Economic development, structural change, and women’s labor force participation: (2013, neutral): “…on the impact of economic growth on labor force participation of women (Sinha 1967; Boserup 1970; Durand 1975; Pampel and Tanaka 1986; Psacharopoulos and Tzannatos 1989; Goldin 1990, 1995; Caǧatay and Özler 1995; Mammen and Paxson 2000; Clark et al. 2003; Lincove 2008; Luci 2009; Tam 2011).”
A companion to the history of economic thought (2003, background): “…initially focused largely on better “integrating” women into development; recent feminist contributions have included more critical analyses of development and its complex, varied, and often adverse effects on women (see references in Elson, 1995, 1999; Bakker, 1999; Mammen and Paxson, 2000).”
Motherhood and Female Labor Supply in the Developing World: Evidence from Infertility Shocks (2011, background): “The switch in economic development from primarily agricultural societies to more industrialized societies generates a U-shaped relationship between female labor force participation and per capita income (Goldin 1995 and Mammen and Paxson 2000).”
Gender Equality in Employment in Africa: Empirical Analysis and Policy Implications (2013, background): “On the other hand, the substitution effect works in the opposite direction— as female wages rise, more women have the incentive to enter the labor market (Goldin, 1995; Mammen and Paxson, 2000; Bloom et al., 2009; Chaudhuri, 2009; Tam, 2011).”
