Why so only 5.5% of Black Men Marry White Women?*
估计了婚配禁忌、求偶机会和个人禀赋对黑人男性婚姻市场的影响，发现消除禁忌可使跨种族婚姻率从5.5%升至64%，并消除收入溢价。
Only 5.5% of black males married white females in 1990, and the family‐income premium for intermarried black males was 7%. This article estimates the impact of the mating taboo, courting opportunities, and individual endowments on the black male marriage market. Results indicate that eliminating the mating taboo would raise the intermarriage rate from 5.5 to 64%, and do away with the intermarriage premium. Improving black males' endowments or allowing black males to meet white females as frequently as they do black females would not increase intermarriage.
