Gender Differences in Advice-giving: Evidence from Lab-in-the-field Experiment

Information diffusion is central to social learning and development. In a community with both men and women, however, sometimes only women give information such as micro-credit and health information. Therefore, it is important to understand how gender plays a role in information diffusion. This is a rarely studied topic in information diffusion and in this project, Liu will focus on a specific type of information - advice. Liu will explore if there is any gender difference in giving advice, and if so, what drives the gender differences.
