I put together an overview of recent developments in the literature on gender-based violence for @AEAjournals There's enough material for 2x 1.5hr lectures. I've covered the material in labor & gender economics classes I hope they can be helpful! dropbox.com/scl/fi/ea7v96g64…

This important study considers economic abuse/coercive control as a precursor to physical violence in relationships. Another chapter in a fascinating and consequential research agenda on GBV, from this dream team of economists! Check out my interview with @abicadams for more.
