*The Egyptian Revolution (2011-2014) has been shown to have triggered important socioeconomic changes in the country, directly affecting women who have played an unprecedented role in manifestations. Nonetheless, few has been said on the consequences of the Arab Spring on the Egyptian marriage market, where marriages are regulated by traditional customary norms. This project investigates the changes in Egyptian women’s marriage outcomes after the Arab Spring with a focus on marital payments, which are often considered as determinants of married women’s welfare. Using an unbalanced panel data from the Egypt Labour Market Panel Survey (2006, 2012, 2018), I will study the impacts of these uprisings, as a revolutionary violence and an economic shock, on marriage outcomes of women, notably on the “Mahr” (i.e., the obligation, in the form of money or possessions paid by the groom to marry the bride at religious marriage). I assume that potential changes following the Arab Spring must have been heterogeneous and depended on the local intensity of protests. I exploit this geographical heterogeneity of exposure to conduct a double difference analysis relying, on the one hand, on data on “martyrs” (i.e., demonstrators who died during the protests) per governorate from the Statistical Database of the Egyptian Revolution and on the other hand, on CAPMAS data on tourism per governorate in 2010.

**My research focuses on measuring the inequality of ordinal variables. In this presentation, I will reiterate the problem highlighted by Alisson and Foster (2004) when trying to measure the inequality of such variables. I will discuss the solutions proposed in the literature, focusing specifically on the article by Gravel et al (2021), in order to introduce new measurement tools.
