摘要

最近的工作将性别规范定位为性分工的关键驱动因素。但贝克尔的比较优势解释的解释力仍然没有得到很好的理解。利用独特的数据，我们测试了正式Beckerian模型的预测。我们通过提出和分析新的专业化措施来补充这一点。我们发现，比较优势在夫妻家庭的性别分工中几乎没有作用。绝对优势在同性伴侣的专业化方面也没有起到任何作用，这并不能用少生孩子来解释。

Specialization, Comparative Advantage, and the Sexual Division of Labor

Recent work situates gender norms as a key driver of the sexual division of labor. But the explanatory power of Becker’s comparative advantage explanation is still not well understood. Drawing on unique data, we test the predictions of a formal Beckerian model. We complement this by proposing and analyzing new measures of specialization. We show that comparative advantage plays little or no role in the sexual division of labor within couple households. Absolute advantage also plays no role in specialization for same-sex couples, and this is not explained by having fewer children.
