By using the nationwide demographic survey in India, this paper investigates the impact of television exposure on women''s empowerment after the tremendous expansion of television network. To tackle the endogeneity problem, we use "time to collect water" as instrumental variable for television exposure. We argue that the instrument captures the poorer subpopulation and the effect of television is non-linear since it contains larger impact to the women with lower socioeconomic status. The result suggests that television exposure significantly improves women''s status, especially of women who are living in the lower socioeconomic strata, in India.311408 bytesapplication/pdfen-US電視女性地位工具變數televisionwomen's statuswomen's empowermentinstrumental variable[SDGs]SDG5thesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/253280/1/ntu-99-R97323052-1.pdf
