Yours, Mine, and Ours: Do Divorce Laws Affect the Intertemporal Behavior of Married Couples? (2015, unknown): “Since the NLS does not disclose state identifiers, I matched women to their state of residence using the geographical variables provided in the surveys.(11) Since the model takes household formation as exogenous, the empirical analysis only considers couples that married before the legal reforms too”
The Marriages of Equally Dependent Spouses (2001, background): “By the mid-20th century, the figure was approximately 70%, as it is now ( Allen & Brinig, 2000; Chused, 1994; Friedman & Percival, 1976).”
Lags and Leads in Life Satisfaction: A Test of the Baseline Hypothesis (2008, unknown): “The notion of adaptation was present in early Neoclassical Economics – see Bruni and Sugden (2007), Section 2.”
Religious influences on the risk of marital dissolution (2009, background): “Studies focused on the general population indicate that women are more likely to initiate marital dissolution than men (e.g., Brinig & Allen, 2000); we have no direct information on whether this pattern is also found among religious conservatives.”
Divorce Law and Women's Labor Supply (2008, unknown): “Brinig and Allen (2000) argue that one reason for this is because women have a greater likelihood of gaining custody of their children.”
