Doctoral Project:

The title of the dissertation is "Econometric Analysis of Gender Differences in Environmental Decision-Making." This study aims to explore the relationship between gender and decision-making processes concerning environmental issues through econometric analysis.

The objective of this study is to employ econometric techniques to investigate whether gender influences decision-making processes related to environmental issues. By analyzing empirical data, we aim to identify and quantify any disparities between men and women in terms of their attitudes, preferences, and behaviors concerning environmental choices.

The econometric analysis will involve applying appropriate statistical models to examine the relationship between gender and environmental decision-making outcomes. We will consider various econometric techniques, including but not limited to regression analysis, discrete choice models, and instrumental variables. These techniques will allow us to account for potential confounding variables, control for sample selection biases, and assess causal relationships where possible.

In addition to analyzing the overall gender effect, we will also explore potential heterogeneity in decision-making patterns within gender groups. The findings of this econometric analysis will provide valuable insights into gender differences in environmental decision-making. Understanding the factors that shape these disparities can inform policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in designing targeted interventions to promote sustainable behaviors and bridge gender gaps in environmental outcomes.
