The Relationship between Women's Education and Marriage Outcomes
利用2000年人口普查数据，描述女性教育与丈夫收入及婚姻状态的非线性关系，并发现约一半的教育与消费关联通过婚姻市场实现；使用1980年数据和出生季度工具变量，发现女性教育可能对丈夫收入有正向因果效应。
Using 2000 Census data, we describe the relationship between women's education and marriage outcomes. Women's education is strongly related to husband's income and marital status. This relationship is highly nonlinear and varies across the distribution of husband's earnings. Roughly half of the correlation between women's education and consumption operates through the marriage market. Using 1980 Census data and the quarter of birth instruments proposed by Angrist and Krueger, we find that women's education may have a positive causal effect on husband's earnings, though not on probability of marriage.
