A Trinomial Logit Analysis of Household Composition
研究户主特征和居住地如何影响婚姻与家庭构成决策,发现高住房成本降低独居概率,收入对男女户主婚姻和独居概率的影响相反。
This article analyzes the effects on the marriage and household composition decisions of characteristics of the householder and of the place of residence. High housing costs reduced the probability of living alone. For female householders, increases in income decreased the probability of living alone rather than with unrelated individuals; the reverse was true for male householders. An increase in income decreased the probability of marriage for female householders over twenty‐three years of age and increased the probability of marriage for male householders. Non‐white householders over forty were less likely to be married than white householders over forty.
