AGUIRRE, Edith. Domestic violence and women’s earnings in Mexico. Estud. Econ. (México, D.F.) [online]. 2023, vol.38, n.1, pp.143-165.  Epub 26-Jun-2023. ISSN 0186-7202.  https://doi.org/10.24201/ee.v38i1.438.

This paper provides the first empirical analysis on the relationship between domestic violence and women’s earnings in Mexico, a country where research on intimate partner violence has not yet received much attention in the economic literature despite the increasing rates in gender-based violence. An index for domestic violence is also created, challenging the traditional dichotomous measure used within this context. Findings reveal a negative and significant association between domestic violence and women’s earnings in Mexico for all types of intimate partner violence and independent of the IPV measure used.

Palavras-chave : domestic violence; intimate partner violence; marriage; earnings; female labor-force participation.
