I am writing a thesis on impact of economic transformation on the status of women in Qatar, what are some economic theories I shoud use in my research?
The main theories relate to the idea of unitary household decision making versus bargained positions among members of households (the intrahousehold literature, of which there exists a huge body of work). I recommend considering all the work by IFPRI over the years on this: https://www.ifpri.org/topic/gender. They are cutting edge thinkers on methods and metrics, and at this website you'll find data, papers and more.
