Esther Duflo

Journal of the European Economic Association, 2005, vol. 3, issue 2-3, 668-678

Abstract: Many countries are amending their political systems to set aside positions to groups, such as women and racial or religious minorities, that are perceived as being disadvantaged. Using evidence from India, this article assesses the case for these reservations. (JEL: H4, O15) Copyright (c) 2005 The European Economic Association.
