Gender Equality and Economic Growth: Is there a Win‐Win? (2013, methodology): “The multicollinearity hypothesis was further supported by the presence of large standard errors for male and female schooling as well as the reversal of the findings in different specifications (Forbes 2000; Klasen 1999; Klasen 2002; Knowles et al. 2002; Lorgelly and Owen 1999).”
