Abstract: This paper addresses the question of whether self-esteem affects women’s intra-household bargaining power by using the National Survey on Women’s Social Status of China (NSWSS). While providing a conceptual framework, the study employs econometric models to show that self-esteem positively affects women’s intra-household bargaining power. The analyses, using an instrument-variable approach, and using different indicators of household bargaining power, further collaborate the robustness of our conclusion. Overall, the empirical study provides important insights on future academic research and policy measures in women’s empowerment.
