Abstract: This paper provides the first empirical analysis on the relationship between domestic violence and women’s earnings in Mexico, a country where research on intimate partner violence has not yet received much attention in the economic literature despite the increasing rates in gender-based violence. An index for domestic violence is also created, challenging the traditional dichotomous measure used within this context. Findings reveal a negative and significant association between domestic violence and women’s earnings in Mexico for all types of intimate partner violence and independent of the IPV measure used.
