Comments on abstract, title, references

Economics and Statistics Working Papers publish papers with strong theoretical models and that have macro level influence.
The title of the study conveyed the main idea. The idea of the research is catching the attention of the reader. However use of prepositions (-, !) in the title seems inappropriate. The main article also match with the abstract. The research objective is clear. There is need to identify research gap statement as well. Author should clearly mention the methodology and results. Within text citation of references is not appropriate. Few of the references are too old. Citation of references is appropriate. References are complete.

Comments on introduction/background

Introduction is clear and relevant to the topic. The initial paragraphs have highlighted the role of economic behaviours in gender differences. Research question are aligned with the literature mentioned in the introduction. The introduction section do highlight the gender and bargaining. In all this scenario, I suggest authors to review the subheadings within introduction. So of the headings like social psychology are broad. Authors may look upon these headings and revise if necessary.

Comments on methodology

Method section has well described the experiment procedure, sample figure is mentioned too, but sample process is missing, inclusion exclusion criteria. Internal reliability is mentioned, however, external reliability is not clear. Method section does not provide details of validation as well. So all these should be made clear before publication.

Comments on data and results

The results section describes well the differences between male and female. Tables are ok. Purpose of results is clear and describing the findings about hypothesis. There are few repetition of results. The information provided in tables is also displayed in graphs. For conciseness purpose, report results in one form. Avoid repetition. Validity of the results should be mentioned properly.

Comments on discussion and conclusions

In this article, discussion has been merged with results. Conclusion section has discussed the aims of the study well and these do make sense. However, limitations are missing in the article. SO, there is need to mention the limitations of the study.
