| Title: | Culture, Gender, and Structural Transformation: The Case of Turkey 東北大学 久保田 荘 准教授 |
 | In this article, I propose a macroeconomic approach to measure cross-country cultural differences. This method is applied to explain the drastic decline in the Turkish female employment rate over a half-century. I construct a quantitative general equilibrium model of worker allocation by industry and gender. A cross-country simulation finds that Turkish families' social stigma due to female employment is 39% higher than that of families in the United States. Its magnitude is comparable to that in Egypt but is significantly higher than in Greece. I also find consistent microeconometric evidence in the European Social Survey and the Demographic and Health Survey. |
