- Abstract
- This paper analyzes the economic impact that affirmative action(AA) has had in South Korea, since its implementation in 2006. The study estimates both AA’s effect on women’s employment and corporate performance at the firm level using the Workplace Panel Survey(WPS), and AA’s potential effect on overall economic growth. The difference-in-differences(DD) estimation results imply that AA in its current format has not significantly raised the overall number of women workers or women managers.
According to the estimation results of the two-stage least squares(2SLS) and fixed effect model, AA also has exerted no significant effect on firm performance. The three-stage least squares(3SLS) estimation results of an augmented Solow growth model suggest that AA can accelerate economic growth, if it effectively reduces the gender wage gap.
