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. 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.
先前的研究发现，外貌会通过提供无保护措施的性服务影响性工作者的冒险行为。本文使用了一个大型个体层面数据集，该数据集涵盖了2011年和2012年德国2517名女性性服务提供者的16583笔有偿性交易合同。基于工具变量的结果表明，冒险行为的动机比假设冒险行为随机分配时高出约两倍。
