A tale of two decades: Relative intra-family Earning Capacity and changes in family welfare over time
Review of Economics of the Household, 2017Co-Authors: Julie L. Hotchkiss, Robert E. Moore, Fernando Rios-avila, Melissa R. TrussellAbstract:The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of economic changes in the 1990s and 2000s on the welfare of married households, taking into account the relative Earnings structure of husband and wife. Modeling the household members’ joint labor supply, we find that families in which the wife is the higher wage earner experienced as much welfare gain in the 1990s and significantly higher welfare gains in the 2000s as families in which the husband is the higher wage earner.

a tale of two decades relative intra family Earning Capacity and changes in family welfare over time
Social Science Research Network, 2014Co-Authors: Julie L. Hotchkiss, Robert E. Moore, Fernando Riosavila, Melissa R. TrussellAbstract:The share of married families in which the wife earns more than her husband has grown significantly during the past few decades. In spite of the higher total Earnings these types of families typically experience, the inversion of traditional Earnings superiority apparently produces considerable angst for the families. This paper examines how the total welfare of families of different relative Earnings structures has fared during two very different decades and finds that families in which the wife is the higher wage earner experienced at least as much welfare gain as families with a different relative Earnings structure. The implication is that even if total welfare isn’t as high in families with higher Earning wives, as recent literature suggests, the welfare of those families is closing in on families of different Earnings structures, as their gains in welfare have either surpassed or kept up with welfare gains of other family types during the past three decades.

match quality new information and marital dissolution
Journal of Labor Economics, 1997Co-Authors: Yoram Weiss, Robert J WillisAbstract:"This article investigates the role of surprises in marital dissolution [in the United States]. Surprises consists of changes in the predicted Earning Capacity of either spouse. Data from the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972 is used. We find that an unexpected increase in the husband's Earning Capacity reduces the divorce hazard, while an unexpected increase in the wife's Earning Capacity raises the divorce hazard. Couples sort into marriage according to characteristics that are likely to enhance the stability of the marriage. The divorce hazard is initially increasing with the duration of marriage, and the presence of children and high levels of property stabilizes the marriage."

family structure education and women s employment in rural india
World Development, 2017Co-Authors: Sowmya Dhanaraj, Vidya MahambareAbstract:Abstract This paper investigates if residing in a joint family affects non-farm employment for married women in rural India. Our estimates based on a longitudinal survey of over 27,000 women conducted in 2005 and 2012, and using the conditional logistic regression and instrumental variable approach suggest that living in a joint family lowers married women’s participation non-farm work by around 12% points. The adverse impact is higher for younger women, for those from families with higher social status, and for those residing in Northern India. We present evidence to suggest that women with higher education are not constrained from cultural and traditional norms since education raises women’s decision-making power in a joint family. An increased education level is likely to raise women’s Earning Capacity as well as the quality of jobs which may help in lowering family pressure against work. Public policies that encourage higher education, improve job accessibility along with affordable childcare, will raise non-farm employment, which has increasingly been the main source of new jobs, for women living in a rural India.

Our estimates based on a longitudinal survey of over 27000 women conducted in 2005 and 2012, and using the conditional logistic regression and instrumental variable approach suggest that living in a joint family lowers married women’s non-farm employment by more than 10 percentage points. The adverse impact is higher for younger women, for women from families with higher social status, and for those residing in Northern India. We present evidence to suggest that women with higher education levels are not constrained from cultural and traditional norms that lower women’s decision-making power and mobility in a joint family. An increased education level is likely to raise women’s Earning Capacity as well as the quality of jobs which may help in lowering family pressure against work. The results suggest that public policies that encourage higher education, improving job accessibility along with affordable childcare, especially for women with less education will raise non-farm employment for women living in a joint family.
