报告简介：

This talk will focus on the importance of women empowerment in agriculture, measurement issues, and the effectiveness of women empowerment measures in predicting intra-household bargaining power in agricultural households. It will discuss two studies: a pilot descriptive study done in Vietnam to examine the correlation between women empowerment and farmer productivity/income, and a lab-in-the field experiment with agricultural households in North Macedonia where spouses made decisions about money allocations. This experiment tested whether they would choose efficient overall household gains or favor individual monetary benefits across different women empowerment levels.
