Dataset for "Does Access to Key Household Resources Help in Reducing Violence against Women?"
Description
This dataset is extracted from a nationally representative household survey for India i.e. the fourth round of the National Family Health Survey conducted in 2015-16 (the original data is available at https://dhsprogram.com/data/dataset/India_Standard-DHS_2015.cfm?flag=0). We employ the method of inverse-probability-weighted regression adjustment to control for selection bias in the estimation of the effects of household resources on IPV and NPV. We find that emotional IPV decreases with access to cooking fuel and toilets while sexual IPV decreases with provision of cooking fuel. Provision of all three key resources reduces physical NPV but there is no effect on sexual NPV. The working paper is available at https://repec.cal.bham.ac.uk/pdf/21-09.pdf
