Does cohabitation prior to marriage raise the risk of marital dissolution and does this effect vary geographically?

Consequences of family policies on childbearing behavior: effects or artifacts?

Neyer, Gerda R.; Andersson, Gunnar - Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Rostock, … - 2007
