From the Paper:

"Adult Female Mortality in Early German Development: 1680-1870 The article "Marriage, Bargaining, and Intrahousehold Resource Allocation: Excess Female Mortality Among Adults During Early German Development, 1680-1870", written by Stephen Klasen, examines mortality rates of adult females in Germany between the late 1600s and mid to late 1800s. The purpose for Klasen's study was to find out whether gender bias existed in the allocation of household resources. His empirical research discovered that the mortality rate among married adult females was considerably excessive."
