Epidemiological analysis finds comparable life satisfaction benefits from economic freedom across genders, suggesting capitalism does not favor men over women.

Key Points

Capitalism confers equal life satisfaction across genders, with observed significant differences unexpectedly revealing more favorable outcomes for women.
An epidemiological approach addressing reverse causality shows that key areas of economic freedom, especially legal quality, enhance overall life satisfaction.
These findings challenge feminist concerns regarding market systems, indicating that economic freedom does not systematically disfavor female subjective wellbeing.
