Gender norms are slow to change, and key drivers of economic development. This proposal leverages natural experiments to test their causal implications on two major channels of economic growth: the trust shared by individuals and the productivity of firms. It will use cutting-edge empirical techniques to generate novel measures of diversity and inclusion for Australian firms, and will conduct original fieldwork, matching experimental measures of trust and cooperation with variation in traditional male versus female roles. This research aims at improving fundamental knowledge about how cultural norms shape economic outcomes and anticipates delivering practical policy recommendations for more efficient and inclusive economic growth.

性别规范改变缓慢，是经济发展的关键驱动力。这一建议利用自然实验来检验它们对经济增长的两个主要渠道的因果关系：个人之间的信任和企业的生产力。它将使用先进的经验技术，为澳大利亚公司制定新的多样性和包容性措施，并将进行原创性的实地考察，将信任与合作的实验措施与传统的男性与女性角色的变化相匹配。该研究旨在提高有关文化规范如何塑造经济成果的基本知识，并为更有效和包容性的经济增长提供切实可行的政策建议。
