An Investment-and-Marriage Model with Differential Fecundity: On the College Gender Gap
构建了一个投资与婚姻模型,从生育力差异和婚姻市场均衡效应角度,解释了大学中女性多于男性的性别差距逆转现象,并分析了美国男女的结婚年龄与中年个人收入的关系。
I build an investment-and-marriage model to provide a new explanation for the reversed college gender gap; that is, more women than men are going to college. The explanation is based on differential fecundity and an equilibrium marriage-market effect. The model also sheds light on gender-specific relationships between age at marriage and midlife personal income for American men and women and the evolving relationship between age at marriage and spousal income for American women.
