MPRC Seminar : Suicide and Property Rights in India
Description:
Garance Genicot, Associate Professor, Department of Economics, Georgetown University
About the Talk: This paper studies the impact of female property rights on male and female suicide rates in India. Using state level variation in legal changes to women's property rights, we show that better property rights for women are associated with a decrease in the difference between female and male suicide rates, but an increase in both male and female suicides.
