ISET would like to congratulate two of its resident faculty members, Karine Torosyan and Norberto Pignatti, and ISET-PI Senior Researcher Maka Chitanava, on the publication of their joint paper. Entitled “Toothless reforms? The remarkable stability of female labor force participation in a top-reforming country”, the article has recently been published on the IZA Discussion Papers Series, from the Institute of Labor Economics, Bonn (the IZA Discussion Paper Series is ranked 11th worldwide for economics by IDEAS/RePEc); and the Human Capital and Economic Opportunity Working Group Working Paper Series, one of the two Working Paper Series of the prestigious Becker Friedman Institute for Research in Economics (BFI), University of Chicago.

In their joint work, the authors investigated the reasons for the remarkable stability of female labor force participation in Georgia, a top-reforming country. Using data from a nationally representative Household Survey covering the period of 2003-2015, the authors drew very interesting results and gave relevant policy recommendations. The paper can be accessed on the following links: 1. IZA Discussion Papers Series 2. Human Capital and Economic Opportunity Working Group Working Paper Series.

ISET is proud of the authors and wishes them every success in the publication process.
