- Darity Jr, WA. "Formally modeling a gender-segregated economy: A reply to Campbell and Warner." World Development 25.12 (1997): 2159-2161. [doi]
(last updated on 2025/02/26)Abstract:
Campbell and Warner contend that there are two major problems with my presentation of a formal structure for analysis of a gender-segregated low-income economy in an earlier issue of this journal. Their first argument that there is no explicit treatment of women negotiating their wage is unimportant. Their second argument is correct; my construction of the male's decision-making process is underspecified, precluding an internal maximization solution. Two options for formalization are advanced that make an internal maximization solution feasible. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
