Traditionally, a “marriage surplus” was created through specialisation of household activities, but in modern times gains from a more egalitarian marriage can be through increased coordination.
The research looks at whether marriage can increase gender equality by estimating the causal effect of marriage versus cohabitation on labour market trajectories of new parents. This seminar will also assess whether increased gender equality for the coordinators lowers or raises household welfare.
This event will be particularly useful for researchers.
Please note this is a hybrid event and can be joined either in-person or online.
