轶事证据表明，使用避孕套的性工作者面临着巨大的收入损失，因为客户更喜欢不使用避孕套的性行为。这对艾滋病政策具有重要意义。我们使用加尔各答性工作者随机抽样的数据来估计避孕套使用的补偿差异。我们依靠自然实验——将性工作者非系统地置于安全性行为信息项目中——来确定避孕套的使用与性交易价格之间的关系。我们发现经常使用避孕套的性工作者面临66% （FIML）和79% （IV）之间的巨大损失。(C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.版权所有。
Anecdotal evidence suggests that sex workers who use condoms face large income losses because clients have a preference for condom-free sex. This has important implications for AIDS policy. We estimate the compensating differential for condom use employing data from a random sample of sex workers in Calcutta. We rely on a natural experiment-the nonsystematic placement of sex workers in a safe sex information program-to identify the relationship between condom use and the price for sex. We find that sex workers who always use condoms face large losses of between 66% (FIML) and 79% (IV). (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
