This thesis is composed of three independent essays in applied microeconomics. The first contributes to the field of labor and health economics and analyzes the effect of local unemployment rates on fertility rates, abortion rates, and the abortions to pregnancies ratio. The second chapter speaks to health and development economics literature, evaluating the impact of agricultural price spikes on farmers’ nutrition, considering the case study of quinoa in Peru. The topic of the final chapter lies within the fields of gender and political economics and discusses the effect of gender representation within local governments on expenditure in social services. Even though the three chapters seem separate, all of them share my interest in gender and health economics, as well as causal estimation. In Chapter 1, I analyze the effect of local unemployment rates on fertility rates, abortion rates, and the abortions to pregnancies ratio, combining population statistics and administrative data on induced abortions performed in Italy between 2004 and 2016. This is the first paper to causally investigate the effect of local economic conditions on abortion choice. Using a shift-share instrument measuring labor demand, I exploit demand-driven shocks to unemployment. A one standard deviation (sd) increase in unemployment induces a 0.9 sd decrease in the fertility rate, a 0.27 sd increase in the abortion rate, and a 0.35 sd increase in the abortion ratio. In percentage terms, these changes mean that a 1 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate brings about a 1.7% decrease in the general fertility rate, a 1.4% increase in the abortion rate, and a 1.8% increase in the abortion ratio. These effects are driven by women above 25 years old, and are particularly large in the 35-49 age group. In Chapter 2, I consider the impact of food price changes on farmers’ particular nutrition, as part of a discussion of the effect of preference shifts in the global North on welfare in the global South. Previous research has yielded contrasting results, while this question is increasingly relevant. The case of quinoa provides an ideal event study, where quinoa prices steeply increased from 2008 onwards, led by increasing international demand. I study the effect of this price shock on the nutrition of Peruvian households in a difference in differences framework. Results point to a limited effect on nutritional outcomes: in the short- term, neither caloric intake nor diet quality significantly increases in quinoa-farming households and districts. Chapter 3 investigates the effect of executive female representation on the provision of different social services, in the context of Italy. While Italy is a high-income country, many families still rely on women to take care of children, the elderly, and family members in need of assistance. We exploit a 2014 reform that mandated 40% gender quotas in the executive committees of municipalities with more than 3000 inhabitants. To account for confounding policies introduced at the same cutoff, we employ a difference-in-discontinuities empirical strategy. We find that while the policy was effective in increasing female representation, it did not have an impact on any category of social services expenditures.

Full textAquesta tesi investiga com els canvis en les normes de gènere influeixen en comportaments demogràfics d’escala general. Està dividida en tres articles. El primer estudia l’associació macro-micro entre les normes de gènere a nivell regional als Estats Units i el risc de divorci. Emprant un model d’anàlisi d’esdeveniments, es troba una relació en forma de U inversa entre les dues variables. El segon article s’enfoca en la relació entre l’educació de les dones i l’estabilitat del matrimoni en els darrers últims anys als Estats Units. Els resultats demostren que les dones amb grau universitari tenen una probabilitat més alta d’entrar en una relació matrimonial i, a la vegada, una menor propensió al divorci comparat amb dones amb nivells d’educació inferiors. El tercer article utilitza l’experiència migratòria com un experiment natural per estudiar els efectes de les normes de gènere sobre les actituds envers els rols de gènere en les parelles. Aplicant models estadístics multinivell de classificació creuada (“cross-classified”) a una mostra d’immigrants de primera i segona generació s’obtenen resultats que demostren una relació significativa entre les normes de gènere en el país d’origen i les actituds de gènere dels immigrants.

Full textTraditional investigations of gender, disregarding situational factors, have determined that women are generally less agentic, more communal, and more emotional than men. The present research demonstrated that the interpersonal behavior of agency and communion were influenced by both situation and gender. In same-sex friendships, women and men behaved consistently with their gender-stereotypes: pairs of women were more communal than pairs of men and pairs of men were more agentic than pairs of women. In mixed-sex dyads, individuals did not behave consistently with gender-stereotypes. Women and men behaved similarly on agency and communion with opposite-sex friends. In interactions with a romantic partner, women behaved less communally than men. Personal relationship situations were found to moderate agentic and communal behaviors, demonstrating the plasticity and variability of gender role behaviors.
Pleasant and unpleasant affect intensity was influenced by situation but not gender. The present research demonstrated that women and men reported experiencing similar levels of affect across the relationship situations. As predicted, individuals experienced both greater pleasant and unpleasant affect in romantic relationships than friendships.
The current research confirmed that there is a need to move beyond the conception that the stereotypic characteristics of men and women reside within individuals. Gender should be included in Person-by-Situation interaction models, taking into consideration psychological and social factors that shape the expression of sex-differentiated behaviors and the experience of emotions.

Resumo: O presente trabalho busca investigar o papel da cultura na organização do pensamento, através da análise dos julgamentos e explicações emitidas pelos sujeitos de nossa pesquisa a respeito de conteúdos de natureza cultural, que incluem questões de gênero e violência. Pretendemos analisar o quanto tais questões estão presentes em nossa cultura, sendo legitimadas e naturalizadas, exercendo forte influência na organização do pensamento. A teoria dos Modelos Organizadores do Pensamento além de fundamentar nossa discussão teórica, norteou o encaminhamento metodológico de análise dos dados, envolvendo 240 sujeitos, sendo 120 do sexo feminino e 120 do sexo masculino. Esta escolha buscou favorecer a análise sob a perspectiva de gênero, por tratar-se de uma construção essencialmente cultural. Para viabilizar um outro nível de análise comparativa, nossa amostra também se dividiu em 120 estudantes universitários (60 mulheres e 60 homens) e 120 adultos que cursaram até o Ensino Fundamental (60 mulheres e 60 homens), considerando o fator escolaridade, já que a escola constitui-se em espaço de práticas culturais. Assim, a teoria dos Modelos Organizadores do Pensamento nos possibilitou estudar os processos mentais envolvidos na apropriação da cultura e na elaboração de explicações sobre fenômenos de tal natureza, evidenciando como a cultura e a educação se articulam na construção do conceito de gênero e exercem relevante influência na constituição psíquica e cultural dos indivíduos.
Abstract: The present research purports to investigate the role of culture on our thought organization, through the analysis of judgements and explanations expressed by the subjects of our research, concerning contents of cultural nature, wich includes questions of gender and violence. We intend to analyse how those questions are so present in our culture, being legitimized and naturalized, exerting strong influence through our thought organization. The Organizing Models of Thought theory not only based our theoric discussion but also guided us in the methodologic direction of data analysis, involving 240 subjects, being 120 females and 120 males. That choice purported to advance analysis through the gender perspective, by dealing with an essentially cultural construction. To make another level of comparative analysis viable, our work was also divided into 120 Academic setudents (60 women and 60 men) and 120 adults who have studied until Elementary school (60 women and 60 men) considering the scholarity factor, whereas the school is buit on a place of cultural skills. Therefore the Organizing Models of Thought gave us the opportunity to study the mental process involved in culture appropriation and elaboration of explanations about phenomena of that nature, proving how culture and education work together for the construction of a gender concept and exerts relevant influence on any psychic and cultural individual formation.

Full textAtravés de um modelo dinâmico probit de efeitos aleatórios, estimou-se a probabilidade de desemprego em Portugal de forma a avaliar se existem diferenças entre géneros nos efeitos parciais médios e na persistência do desemprego. Os dados utilizados provêm do Inquérito ao Rendimento e Condições de Vida (ICOR) para o período entre 2010 e 2013. A estimação é feita ao mesmo tempo que se controla pela heterogeneidade individual não observada e pelo problema das condições iniciais, que ocorre pelo fato de não se conhecer o processo estocástico que originou o estado de desemprego observado. Encontrámos forte evidência empírica de persistência do desemprego, e alguma evidência de que esta persistência é mais pronunciada para os homens. Através da inclusão de um efeito fixo especifico para as mulheres, que pretende captar o efeito da discriminação de género num período de instabilidade no mercado de trabalho, concluímos que existe evidência estatística de maior probabilidade de desemprego para as mulheres. Este trabalho tem como principais contributos o estudo dos determinantes da probabilidade de desemprego, que representa uma carência da literatura em economia do trabalho, no fato de o estudar num período de grande desemprego em Portugal, e no especial enfoque que dá à persistência do desemprego e à discriminação de género.
Using a dynamic random effects probit model we estimate the probability of unemployment in Portugal in order to assess gender differences in average partial effects and in unemployment persistence, with data from four waves of the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (ICOR), for the period between 2010 and 2013. The estimation occurs while controlling for unobserved individual heterogeneity and for the "initial conditions" problem, which arises from not knowing the stochastic process which originated the observed state of unemployment. We find strong evidence of persistence in unemployment, with some, although weak, evidence that men suffer more from the negative implications of previous unemployment. Simultaneously, we found evidence of higher probabilities of unemployment for women through a fixed effect that aimed to capture gender discrimination in an unstable labor market. The main contributions of the present work lie in the study of the determinants of the probability of unemployment, which represents a shortage in the current literature in labor economics, during a period of high unemployment in Portugal, and by having a special focus on unemployment persistence and gender discrimination.

Full textThe purpose of this work is to explore the ideals of body and behavior among adult women of our new Peruvian middle class attending a gym. It suggests that the ideals of bodies developed in this place are in closely related to traditional notions of gender roles of our society. But, at the same time, emphasizes the fact that they, not only try to have a body in accordance to social expectation, but also to interact or make friends, and to experience a variety of emotions in performing aerobic activity itself. Finally, the paper explores the meaning that these women give to their experience at the gym. Not only does this experience get them closer to the ideal body, fixed by the social standards of femininity, but the experience turns into an opportunity to discuss and remake those models of femininity, and assert their own discourses of identity.

Full text[ES] El Aprendizaje Profundo (Deep Learning en inglés) es una nueva área dentro del campo del Aprendizaje Automático que pretende crear modelos computacionales que aprendan varias representaciones de los datos utilizando arquitecturas profundas. Este tipo de métodos ha ganado mucha popularidad durante los últimos años debido a los impresionantes resultados obtenidos en diferentes tareas como el reconocimiento automático del habla, el reconocimiento y la detección automática de objetos, el procesamiento de lenguajes naturales, etc. El principal objetivo de esta tesis es aportar una serie de contribuciones realizadas dentro del marco del Aprendizaje Profundo, particularmente enfocadas a problemas relacionados con la visión por computador. Estas contribuciones se resumen en dos novedosos métodos: una nueva técnica de regularización para Restricted Boltzmann Machines llamada Mask Selective Regularization (MSR), y una potente red neuronal discriminativa llamada Local Deep Neural Network (Local-DNN). Por una lado, el método MSR se basa en aprovechar las ventajas de las técnicas de regularización clásicas basadas en las normas L2 y L1. Ambas regularizaciones se aplican sobre los parámetros de la RBM teniendo en cuenta el estado del modelo durante el entrenamiento y la topología de los datos de entrada. Por otro lado, El modelo Local-DNN se basa en dos conceptos fundamentales: características locales y arquitecturas profundas. De forma similar a las redes convolucionales, Local-DNN restringe el aprendizaje a regiones locales de la imagen de entrada. La red neuronal pretende clasificar cada característica local con la etiqueta de la imagen a la que pertenece, y, finalmente, todas estas contribuciones se tienen en cuenta utilizando un sencillo sistema de votación durante la predicción. Los métodos propuestos a lo largo de la tesis han sido ampliamente evaluados en varios experimentos utilizando distintas bases de datos, principalmente en problemas de visión por computador. Los resultados obtenidos muestran el buen funcionamiento de dichos métodos, y sirven para validar las estrategias planteadas. Entre ellos, destacan los resultados obtenidos aplicando el modelo Local-DNN al problema del reconocimiento de género utilizando imágenes faciales, donde se han mejorado los resultados publicados del estado del arte.

Aquest tipus de mètodes ha guanyat molta popularitat durant els últims anys a causa dels impressionants resultats obtinguts en diverses tasques com el reconeixement automàtic de la parla, el reconeixement i la detecció automàtica d'objectes, el processament de llenguatges naturals, etc. El principal objectiu d'aquesta tesi és aportar una sèrie de contribucions realitzades dins del marc de l'Aprenentatge Profund, particularment enfocades a problemes relacionats amb la visió per computador. Aquestes contribucions es resumeixen en dos nous mètodes: una nova tècnica de regularització per Restricted Boltzmann Machines anomenada Mask Selective Regularization (MSR), i una potent xarxa neuronal discriminativa anomenada Local Deep Neural Network ( Local-DNN). D'una banda, el mètode MSR es basa en aprofitar els avantatges de les tècniques de regularització clàssiques basades en les normes L2 i L1. Les dues regularitzacions s'apliquen sobre els paràmetres de la RBM tenint en compte l'estat del model durant l'entrenament i la topologia de les dades d'entrada. D'altra banda, el model Local-DNN es basa en dos conceptes fonamentals: característiques locals i arquitectures profundes. De forma similar a les xarxes convolucionals, Local-DNN restringeix l'aprenentatge a regions locals de la imatge d'entrada. La xarxa neuronal pretén classificar cada característica local amb l'etiqueta de la imatge a la qual pertany, i, finalment, totes aquestes contribucions es fusionen durant la predicció utilitzant un senzill sistema de votació. Els mètodes proposats al llarg de la tesi han estat àmpliament avaluats en diversos experiments utilitzant diferents bases de dades, principalment en problemes de visió per computador. Els resultats obtinguts mostren el bon funcionament d'aquests mètodes, i serveixen per validar les estratègies plantejades.

Resumo: O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar os modelos organizadores elaborados por jovens, desde uma perspectiva de gênero, numa situação de conflito interpessoal na escola. Parte-se dos referenciais da Teoria dos Modelos Organizadores do Pensamento, do Paradigma da Complexidade e de perspectivas críticas sobre os estudos de gênero como contribuintes de aspectos conceituais e metodológicos na análise do funcionamento psíquico. Foram levantadas informações com 400 jovens (15 a 21 anos), de escolas públicas e particulares, em dois estados do Brasil (Mato Grosso e São Paulo). Solicitou-se que respondessem por escrito a quatro questões sobre os sentimentos, pensamentos e o dever das personagens (meninos ou meninas) diante de uma situação (sofrida ou presenciada) de discriminação de gênero e sexual (homofobia) na escola. Analisamos a perspectiva de gênero na resolução do conflito a partir do sexo das personagens, considerando as variáveis sexo dos participantes e estado brasileiro de origem. Os resultados mostram que as representações de gênero têm papel relevante no modo como os jovens e as jovens resolvem conflitos interpessoais, marcando a produção de estereótipos nas relações sociais entre homens e entre mulheres na escola
Abstract: This research aimed at investigating the organizer models about gender representations in interactive conflicts resolution in educational context. It is based on the Organizer Models Theory, the Complexity Paradigm, and the critical perspectives about gender studies as conceptual and methodological tools in psychic processes analysis. We conducted the information collection with 400 young people, aged from 15 to 21 years-old, from public and private schools, in two Brazilian states (Mato Grosso and São Paulo). We asked them to answer, by writing, four questions about a situation feelings, thoughts at the duty of the characters (boys and girls) in relation to the situation (suffered or viewed) of gender and sexual discrimination (homophobia) in school. We analyzed the gender perspective on the conflict resolution based on the characters sex, considering the participants sex and the Brazilian states. The results showed that the gender representations have a relevant role in the way the young people solve interactive conflicts by marking the stereotype production in social relationship between men and women in school

Full textAlthough women obtain degrees in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) at lower rates than their male counterparts, this difference does not alone account for the similarly large disparity of men and women working in STEM jobs. Using data from the American Community Survey for 2015, I run a survey of models, including linear and logistic regressions as well as propensity matching, to investigate the extent to which women are underrepresented, even after accounting for education. The results show that for women, the benefit of a STEM degree on STEM job placement rates is significantly lower than it is for their male counterparts; in some estimates, the effect is halved. The models diverge somewhat on the extent to which this is correlated with a lower baseline of women without STEM degrees working STEM jobs (compared to similar men), but all provide grounds to reject the notion that workforce disparity is attributable solely or even primarily to education.

Resumo: Considerando a influência exercida pelos aspectos afetivos nos processos de aprendizagem e construção de conhecimentos, esse trabalho teve por objetivo discutir as relações entre a afetividade e a cognição na organização do pensamento humano. Para atender esse objetivo, foi realizada uma investigação na qual, buscou-se identificar a influência que os estados emocionais do sujeito podem exercer na forma como seu pensamento se organiza para interpretar e solucionar um conflito hipotético, de natureza ética. O referencial teórico que deu suporte à pesquisa foi a Teoria dos Modelos Organizadores do Pensamento de Moreno, Sastre, Bovet e Leal (1999).A metodologia adotada para desenvolvê-la foi constituída de uma dinâmica realizada com grupos de sujeitos, com o objetivo de possibilitar que os mesmos fossem imersos em estados emocionais específicos, e da resolução posterior de um conflito envolvendo violência de gênero, que possibilitou também a obtenção de indícios das influências exercidas pelos padrões culturais de conduta masculinos e femininos.A análise dos dados obtidos comprovaram que a dimensão afetiva exerce forte influência na organização do pensamento juntamente com as capacidades cognitivas
Abstract: Considering the influence exerted by affective elements on learning processes and knowledge building, this work aimed at the discussion of the relationships between the affectivity and the cognition in the organization of the human thought .To get that objective, an investigation was carried out in order to identify the influence that the subject¿s emotional states have on the way his thinking organizes itself in order to interpret and solve a hypotetical conflict of ethical nature .The theory that supported the research was the Theory of Organizing Models (Moreno, Sastre, Bovet and Leal, 1999). The methodology to do the investigation involved a dynamics with groups of subjects, making them immerge in specific emotional states and the resolution, afterwards, of a conflict related to gender violence; the methodology also generated some hints about the influences exerced by cultural norms of conduct by males and females. The data analysis showed that the affective dimension has great influence in the organization of thinking as well as the cognitive capabilities

The subjects of the study received instruction with concrete models, and by the traditional method. Cooperative learning method and discovery learning method were also used to provide better classroom environment and to create exciting classroom atmosphere for the use of concrete models. The following measuring instruments were used to collect data: The Geometry Attitude Scale (GAS), Geometry Achievement Test (GAT) and open ended questions. The present study was a matching-only pre-test- post-test control group design. The data of the present study were analyzed by Analysis of Co-Variance and by two-way Analysis of Variance. The results of the study indicated that: (1) There was a statistically significant mean difference between students received instruction with concrete models and those received instruction with traditional method in terms of the GAch
(2) there was no statistically significant mean difference between girls and boys in terms of GAch
(3) there was no statistically significant interaction between treatment and gender on GAch
(4) there was no statistically significant mean difference between students received instruction with concrete models and those received instruction with traditional method in terms of ATG
(5) there was no statistically significant mean difference between girls and boys in terms of ATG
and (6) there was no statistically significant interaction between treatment and gender on ATG.

Full textDenna uppsats baseras på en fältstudie genomförd i Faridabad, Indien våren 2007. Syftet är att undersöka vilken roll hinduiska gudinnor spelar för kvinnor. För att uppfylla det syftet studeras också de intervjuade kvinnornas underliggande uppfattningar om jämställdhet.
För att kunna uppfylla syftet med uppsatsen har en kvalitativ metod använts och 19 intervjuer har genomförts. Informanterna har fått svara på frågor som handlar om att vara kvinna i det hinduiska samhället och deras åsikter om hur kvinnors situation bör ändras. När resultaten från intervjuerna analyserats har jag inspirerats av tidigare forskning om genus och Hinduism.
I den hinduiska mytologin finns både gudar och gudinnor. Att dyrka gudinnor kan ses som en källa till makt och inspiration för kvinnor. Därför har jag studerat om informanterna ser på gudinnorna som förebilder. Resultaten visar att det är svårt att avgöra om så är fallet. Ungefär hälften av informanterna sade att det ser gudinnorna som förebilder. I motsats till tidigare forskning nämnde inte informanterna de gudinnor som representerar de egenskaper som den ideala hustrun ska besitta, istället nämndes stridsgudinnan Durga. Tidigare forskning visar dock att även de självständiga gudinnorna som beskrevs av informanterna som förebilder är en del av den patriarkala strukturen. Under intervjuerna framgick att rollen att vara en bra hustru och mor värdesätts högt av informanterna. Detta kan, enligt mig, kopplas till det mest framträdande resultatet som framkom i synen på vad jämställdhetsuppfattningen baseras på. Det gäller uppfattningen om att män och kvinnor föds med olika egenskaper. I motsats till genusteori förstås inte skillnader mellan män och kvinnor som främst socialt konstruerade.
This report is based on a field study that was carried out in Faridabad, India in the spring of 2007. The aim is to study what role the Hindu goddesses play for Hindu women. To fulfil this purpose I am also studying the interviewed women’s underlying understanding regarding gender equality.
To fulfil the aim a qualitative method was chosen and 19 interviews were completed. The informants answered questions about being a woman in the Hindu society and their opinions on how to change women’s situation. While analysing the results I was inspired by previous research on gender and Hinduism.
In the Hindu mythology there are both gods and goddesses. Worshipping goddesses can be seen as a source of power and inspiration for women. Therefore I wanted to study if the informants look at the goddesses as role models. The results show that it is difficult to determine whether or not that is the case. Approximately half of the informants said that they looked at the goddesses as role models. In contrast to previous research the informants did not mention the goddesses that are represented with qualities that the ideal wife should posses, instead Durga, the fight goddess, was mentioned. However, previous research also shows that the independent goddesses that were described as role models by the informants are a part of a patriarchal structure. During the interviews the role of being a good wife and a mother is described as the most important thing for the informants. This can, according to me, be related to the most significant result on what the understanding of gender equality is based on. This is the opinion that men and women are born with different qualities. In contrast to the gender theory, the differences between men and women are not understood as primarily socially constructed.

Full textNowadays, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are considered a source of growth, employment, and social inclusion; however, they suffer from recurrent limitations in access to credit, especially if they are led by women. For that, reason, the aim of this research is to determine the existence of gender discrimination in access to credit in SMEs in Peru in 2017 through the National Survey of Companies 2018 (ENE). To do so, a Probit econometric model will be used and variables such as age, owner's education, economic sector, etc. will be analyzed, which shows that the probability of an SME gaining access to credit decreases when the owner is a woman and affirms the hypothesis that the structure of the business varies depending on the sex of the SME owner, with emphasis on the education of the owner and the economic sector to which the SME belongs.
