Title
Man-cessions, fiscal policy, and the gender composition of employment
Author
Abstract
Recessions are man-cessions, as men are disproportionately exposed to cyclical employment fluctuations. We provide evidence that fiscal expansions stimulate predominantly female employment implying a further destabilization of the gender composition of employment in recessions. Our findings can be understood as a consequence of differences in the industryoccupation mix of employment by gender.
