abstract="Previous research found that physical appearance affects the risk-taking of sex workers through offering unprotected services. This paper utilizes a large individual-level data set covering 16,583 pay-for-sex contracts in 2011 and 2012 by 2,517 female suppliers in Germany. <br><br>RESULTS based on instrumental variables suggest that the incentive for risk-taking is about twice as high than when assuming random assignment of risk-taking.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
