TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Do spouses negotiate in the shadow of the law? Evidence from unilateral divorce, suicides, and homicides in Mexico JO - Economics letters A1 - Hoehn-Velasco, Lauren A1 - Silverio-Murillo, Adan SP - 108891 EP - 108891 VL - 187 IS - N2 - We find that state-level no-fault divorce reforms in Mexico had no impact on female suicide or homicide rates. Unlike in high-income countries (Stevenson and Wolfers (2006), Brassiolo (2016)), in Mexico, women appear unable to escape abusive marriages through a divorce.
