| Title: | | Gender Inequality and Trade  |
| Authors: | | Busse, Matthias Spielmann, Christian |

| Series/Report no.: | | HWWA Discussion Paper 308 |
| Abstract: | | The paper empirically explores the international linkages between gender inequality and trade flows of a sample of 92 developed and developing countries. The focus is on comparative advantage in labour-intensive manufactured goods. The results indicate that gender wage inequality is positively associated with comparative advantage in labour-intensive goods, that is, countries with a larger gender wage gap have higher exports of these goods. Also, gender inequality in labour force activity rates and educational attainment rates are negatively linked with comparative advantage in labour-intensive commodities. |
