The exogenous shift in relative incomes altered the bargaining position of the wife and shifted household expenditures towards goods reflecting her preferences. Bobonis (2009) also finds that cash transfers to the wife in the Mexican Progressa programme shifted expenditures towards children’s goods. Using the Mexican Household Income and Expenditure Survey (ENIGH) for 1992 and 2000, we find suggestive evidence that women’s bargaining power within the household improved along with their relative earnings. Household expenditures shifted from goods associated with male preference, such as men’s clothing and tobacco and alcohol, to those associated with female preference, such as education and women’s clothing.

Me parece que las chicas economistas deberían leer este artículo. Por lo que me ha tocado escuchar, las mujeres sí están tomado puestos de la misma importancia que los hombres por lo que se está aprovechando, también, su fuerza de trabajo.
Creo que hasta la preparatoria hubo más mujeres que hombres en las escuelas que estudié, así que me parece lamentable que esta proporción se invierta con creces en las aulas universitarias del país, según creo.
