      abstract = {Identity is an important determinant of economic behavior.  While the existing literature focuses on one identity  dimension at a time, we show that the multiplicity of  identity dimensions matters for economic behavior and that  neglecting it may lead policymakers to overlook important,  unexpected effects of economic policies. We exploit the  randomized nature of political reservations for women in  India to show that a policy designed along one identity  dimension (gender) alters the distribution of the benefits  of this policy along another one (caste). We propose  differences in gender norms across caste groups as a  mechanism.},
