In this paper the hypothesis that partnerships between immigrants and natives are less specialized "in the sense that spouses provide similar working hours per weekday" than those between immigrants is tested. The empirical analysis relies on panel data using a two-limit random effects tobit...

Taking advantage of the panel structure of the data, the impact of intermarriage on labor market productivity as measured by earnings is examined. Contrarily to previous studies which rely on instrumental variable techniques, selection issues are addressed within a fixed effects framework. The...

Spouse's relative labor supply and the degree of specialization in intermarriage might differ from that in immigrant and native marriage for several reasons. Intermarried couples may specialize less due to smaller comparative advantages resulting from positive assortative mating by education,...
