“…Angelucci (2008) found similar increases in exposure to IPV resulting from women's access to financial resources acquired through participating in Mexico's program Opportunidades (Opportunities), a federallevel welfare program aimed at helping poor families. The evaluation of this program found an increase in violence committed by husbands against wives.…”

Exploring risk factors and profiles of intimate partner violence in other countries provides information about whether existing theories of this phenomenon hold consistent in different cultural settings. This study will present results of a regression analysis involving domestic violence among Mexican women (n = 83,159). Significant predictors of domestic violence among Mexican women included age, number of children in the household, income, education, self-esteem, family history of abuse, and controlling behavior of the husband. Women's employment status was not a significant predictor when all variables were included in the model; however, when controlling behavior of the husband was withdrawn from the model, women's employment status was a significant predictor of domestic violence toward women. Results from this research indicate that spousal controlling behavior may serve as a mediator of the predictive relationship between women's employment status and domestic violence among Mexican women. Findings provide support for continued exploration of the factors that mediate experiences of domestic violence among women worldwide.

“…Our focus on IPV is also extremely timely as a growing number of studies try to identify the main drivers of this phenomenon (e.g., Angelucci, 2008, Hidrobo and Fernald, 2013, Haushofer and Shapiro, 2013, Bobonis, González-Brenes, and Castro, 2013, Hidrobo, Peterman, and Heise, 2016) and the impact of programs intended to reduce its prevalence (World Health Organization, 2009). Several scholars have argued that measures of violence against women could be subject to reporting error (e.g., DeKeseredy and Schwartz, 1998, Ellsberg, Heise, Pena, Agurto, and Winkvist, 2001, Kishor, 2005, Aizer, 2010, but little is known about the magnitude and the characteristics of misreporting in this field.…”

However, in the absence of reliable administrative records, this violence is often measured using self-reported data from health surveys. In this paper, an experiment is conducted comparing data from such surveys against a methodology that provides greater privacy to the respondent. Non-classical measurement error in health surveys is identified as college-educated women, but not the less educated, underreport physical and sexual violence. The paper provides a low-cost solution to correct the bias in the estimation of causal effects under non-classical measurement error in the dependent variable.

“…Specifically, the present study finds that a decade after the start of the program, physical and emotional abuse rates do not vary significantly among existing beneficiary and nonbeneficiary couples. These findings stand in stark contrast to the short-run relationship established in observational and experimental studies-that women in beneficiary households are significantly less likely to be victims of physical abuse than are nonbeneficiary women (Angelucci 2008;Bobonis, González-Brenes, and Castro 2013;Haushofer and Shapiro 2013;Hidrobo and Fernald 2013;Hidrobo, Peterman, and Heise 2015;Perova 2010).…”

“…It addresses a concern raised in recent work challenging the consensus that targeting resources to women in the forms of CCTs may help promote the empowerment of women within the household (Angelucci 2008;Bobonis, González-Brenes, and Castro 2013;Rivera, Hernández, and Castro 2006).…”

It uses data from three nationally representative surveys that include detailed information on the prevalence of spousal abuse and threats of violence against women. Constructing comparable groups of beneficiary and nonbeneficiary households within each village to minimize potential selection biases, the present study finds that, in contrast to the short-run estimates, physical and emotional abuse rates over the long term do not differ significantly between existing beneficiary and nonbeneficiary couples. The paper examines possible causes for the difference, most importantly, the role that marital selection and the diffusion of norms rejecting intimate partner violence may play in explaining these effects.JEL codes: D03, J12, J16
