Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We present a model in which investment in schooling generates two kinds of
returns: the labor-market return, resulting from higher wages, and a marriage-market
return, defined as the impact of schooling on the marital surplus share
one can extract. Men and women may have different incentives to invest in
schooling because of different market wages or household roles. This asymmetry
can yield a mixed equilibrium with some educated individuals marrying
uneducated spouses. When the labor-market return to schooling rises, home
production demands less time, and the traditional spousal labor division norms
weaken, more women may invest in schooling than men. (JEL I21, J12, J24, J31)
