Unemployment and the Separation of Married Couples
基于1987至1996年4万条观测数据，运用面板数据模型分析失业对已婚夫妇分居概率的影响，发现失业显著提高了分居可能性。
This article analyzes whether unemployment has an effect on the splitting of a marital relationship. The study uses 40 000 observations on unemployment spells and marital status during the period from 1987 to 1996. Random effects probit and conditional likelihood logit models for panel data are applied. Using several control variables, it was confirmed that unemployment does actually lead to a higher probability of the separation of married couples.
