Matching across Markets: An Economic Analysis of Cross-Border Marriage
研究了台湾和越南跨境婚姻中谁与谁结婚以及夫妻如何分配婚姻剩余，发现台湾男性来自人力资本分布的中等水平，越南女性则正向选择参与跨境婚姻，且跨境婚姻成本变化会通过影响婚姻率、匹配对象和家庭内分配来改变未参与者的福利。
Severe gender imbalances coupled with stark income differences across countries are driving an increase in cross-border marriages in many Asian countries. I theoretically and empirically study who marries whom and how couples allocate marital surplus in Taiwanese and Vietnamese marriage markets. I find that Taiwanese men are selected from the middle level of the human capital distribution and that Vietnamese women are positively selected for cross-border marriages. I show that changes in the costs of cross-border marriage affect the welfare of Taiwanese and Vietnamese who do not participate in cross-border marriages by altering marriage rates, matching partners, and intrahousehold allocations.
