- The prediction of standard economic theory that trade liberalization reduces income inequality in developing countries has been challenged by several studies during recent decades. This paper explores this issue by analyzing the relationship between trade liberalization and skilled-unskilled wage inequality in the Bangladesh cotton textile industry. First cointegration analysis is used to test for long-run relationships between real wages and trade liberalization over the period 1971-2010, and then a two-equation error correction model is estimated for wages of skilled and unskilled workers. Trade liberalization, proxied by the evolution of Bangladesh’s international trade, is associated with increased real wages for both skilled and unskilled workers. The relative skilled-unskilled workers’ wage fluctuates over the study period, but it has no trend and is not related to increased openness. Trade liberalization thus seems to have increased labor productivity in the cotton textile industry without any noticeable effects on wage inequality.

Uncovering the Effect of the HIV Epidemic on Fertility in Sub-Saharan Africa: The Case of Malawi
- 2008
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In many Sub-Saharan countries the HIV epidemic has spread to over 10% of the working-age population, and is likely to affect economically relevant behaviour. We evaluate the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on the reproductive behaviour for women in Malawi, allowing for a heterogeneous response depending on age and prior number of births. HIV/AIDS increases the probability that a young woman would give birth to her first child, while it decreases the probability to give birth of older women or of young women who have already given birth. The resulting change in the distribution of fertility across age-groups is likely to be more demographically and economically important than changes in the total number of children a woman gives birth to.

- Abstract: We evaluate the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on the reproductive behaviour for all women in Malawi, HIV-negative and HIV-positive alike, allowing for heterogeneous response depending on age and prior number of births. HIV/AIDS increases the probability that a young woman gives birth to her first child, while it decreases the probability to give birth of older women and of women who have already given birth. The resulting change in the distribution of fertility across age groups is likely to be more demographically and economically important than changes in the total number of children a woman gives birth to.

Våld i nära relationer och hiv i Afrika söder om Sahara
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Ekonomisk Debatt. - 0345-2646. ; :1, s. 44-52
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Våld emot kvinnor förs ofta fram som en starkt bidragande faktor till hivepidemin i Afrika söder om Sahara. De empiriska beläggen är dock motstridiga. Dessutom har man i tidigare studier som regel inte undersökt vad som orsakar ett eventuellt statistiskt samband. Med data från åtta afrikanska länder visar vi på ett statistiskt samband mellan kvinnor som utsätts för våld i nära relationer och sannolikheten att de är hivpositiva. Vi visar också att sambandet inte är kausalt utan beror på att de våldsbenägna männen oftare är hivpositiva på grund av ett mer riskfyllt sexuellt beteende.
