Resumen
Descripción
This paper presents a dataset and an analytical framework to study the welfare effects of tariff changes on women. The data is an extension of the Household Impacts of Tariffs (HIT) dataset, which contains harmonized household survey data for 54 low and lower middle-income countries. It includes highly disaggregated information on household budget and income shares for 53 agricultural products, wage labor income, non-farm enterprise sales and transfers as well as spending on manufacturing and services for each percentile of the real income distribution. The Household Impact of Trade for Women (HIT_W) data presented here differentiates expenditure and income shares for households with male heads, households with female heads, and households with different female demographic compositions. The analytical framework delivers formulas that can be used to measure the impacts of changes in tariffs on household real income
