Purpose
The contributions of gender equality to trade and the moderating impact of institutional quality on the trade-gender link have been understudied in contemporary literature. Therefore, this paper aims to use the augmented gravity model to investigate the impacts of gender equality and institutional quality on trade, and the moderating impact of institutional quality on the trade-gender link.

This study analyzes nearly 158K job ads and 6.45M applications from India to examine how gendered language in job postings affects wages and applicant behavior. About 8% of ads explicitly state a gender preference. Jobs preferring women explicitly or implicitly offer lower wages but attract more female applicants.
