本文旨在验证Bertrand等人对美国性别认同的创新性研究成果。(2015)为德国。他们发现，收入高于丈夫的女性为了不违反传统的性别认同规范，扭曲了劳动力市场的结果。利用德国社会经济小组研究的数据，我们还发现，妻子收入份额的分配在一半的右侧急剧下降，即妻子的收入超过丈夫的收入。固定效应回归的结果证实，性别认同对全职工作女性的劳动力供给有影响，但仅在西德。我们还表明，性别认同会影响家务劳动的供给，但与美国不同的是，在美国，当女性的收入实际上高于丈夫时，她们在非市场工作中的贡献会增加。我们发现，在德国，女性只有在收入超过丈夫的情况下，才会几乎不会减少每周的非市场工作时间。
This paper aims to verify results of the innovative study on gender identity for the USA by Bertrand et al. (2015) for Germany. They found that women who would earn more than their husbands distort their labor market outcome in order not to violate traditional gender identity norms. Using data from the German Socio-economic Panel Study we also find that the distribution of the share of income earned by the wife exhibits a sharp drop to the right of the half, where the wife's income exceeds the husband's income. The results of the fixed effects regression confirm that gender identity has an impact on the labor supply of full time working women, but only in Western Germany. We also show that gender identity affects the supply of housework but in contrast to the US where women increase their contribution to non-market work when they actually have a higher income than their husbands, we find for Germany that women only barely reduce their weekly hours of non-market work once their income exceeds that of their husbands.
