OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

We estimate women’s resource shares, defined as the fraction of household expenditure consumed by women, in UK households over the period 1978 to 2016. We find that women’s resource shares increased substantially over 1978 to 1996 and were flat thereafter. We also show how increasing education and labour force attainment of women played into this process. These factors did not drive resource share growth over the first half of the period. Over the second half, although these factors improved, the returns to them declined, resulting in flat resource shares over the second half of the period.
