Why wait? : A century of education, marriage timing and gender roles
Iyigun, Murat; Lafortune, Jeanne - 2016
We document that, over the 20th century, age at first marriage followed a U-shaped pattern, while the gender education gap tracked an inverted-U path in the United States. To explain this, we propose a multi-period frictionless matching model where educational and marriage decisions are...
