Oster HIV Paper

This would be a good paper for the journal club

In general, there are some interesting papers on her site, relevant to AIDS and sexual behaviour in particular

her work on "missing women" is interesting. I have to admit this is an issue that had not popped up on my radar before. At least some connection to the discussion we had on Kevin's paper the other day.

One of the original references on the topic is:

Sen, Amartya, “Missing Women,” British Medical Journal, 1992, 304, 587–588.

The "missing women" phenomenon is apparent in China also.

Up late working on a proposal so too tired to pick out the analytics but worth going through this debate.
