Description: "The authors introduce a simple empirical model that assumes a positive stigma (or norm) toward child labor that is common in some developing countries.  They illustrate the positive stigma model using data from Guatemala.  Controlling for several child and household-level characteristics, the analysis uses two instruments for measuring stigma: a child's indigenous background and the household head's childhood work experience.
