Changing distributions of male and female types affect the measurement of educationbased marriage market sorting. We develop a weighting strategy that minimizes the distortion of sorting measures due to changing type distributions. The optimal weights reflect that female type distributions have...

volatility also rose. We establish a quantitatively important link between these facts. If marriage involves consumption … commitments, then a rise in income volatility delays marriage. We quantitatively assess this hypothesis vis‐à‐vis others in the … literature. Increased volatility accounts for about 20% of the observed delay in marriage and is strong relative to other …
