Co-author(s) : Warn N. Lekfuangfu (UCL) et Yanos Zylberberg (CREI, UPF)
Abstract
This paper explores whether part of the sex industry in Thailand is explained by the presence of U.S. military personnel during the Vietnam War. We rely on prostitution data at a disaggregated level reporting the number of sex workers and the type of establishments and on data sets indicating the U.S. military bases in Thailand, contracts between locals and the U.S. Army as well as the bilateral transfers between the two countries. We find that this sudden demand boom during the war had long-run local effects on the sex industry. There is a positive relationship between the current number of sex workers and the location of U.S. military bases during the war. We examine historical evidence and exploit the presence of non U.S. military bases and the distance to the war front to verify that our results are not driven by selection or omitted variables. The evidence suggests that the current comparative advantage of Thailand in the sex industry may be explained by the evolution of norms and by the role of economies of scale. We then rely on the local demand boom during the war to analyze the economic consequences of the sex industry on other outcomes such as women's education and the size of the informal sector.
