Does Women’s Land Ownership Promote Their Empowerment? Empirical Evidence from Nepal (2016, background): “Moreover, our finding of higher estimated impacts with the IV approach highlights that it is crucial to address the sample selection and endogeneity caused by the non-random assignment of land ownership (Anderson & Eswaran, 2009; Wiig, 2013).”
Women’s Access to Labor Market Opportunities, Control of Household Resources, and Domestic Violence: Evidence from Bangladesh (2014, positive): “Indeed, there are both theoretical arguments and empirical evidence that females’ access to labor market opportunities decreases early marriage and childbearing (Singh and Samara 1996; Jensen 2012) and improves women’s bargaining power within the household (Dharmalingam and Morgan 1996; Rahman and R”
