Endorsed by

This is a fascinating project addressing and important topic in development economics. Understanding how risk may affect gender roles is key to increase women's empowerment and close the gender gap. Okkar Mandalay is a brilliant junior researcher working together with Professor Alessandra Cassar. I fully endorse his project.
This line of research offers an exciting avenue into understanding basic gender differences that may drive phenomena such as wages differentials in labor markets, and other disparate outcomes between males and females. Already related research by Cassar has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences & featured on CNN. I give it my wholehearted endorsement.
