OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Abstract:
We present a framework for analysing intertemporal labour supply and household formation and dissolution decisions in an equilibrium limited-commitment collective framework that allows for marriage both within and across birth cohorts. Using Panel Study of Income Dynamics and American Community Survey data, we apply our equilibrium limited-commitment framework to empirically implement a model with labour market earnings risk, human capital accumulation, home production activities, fertility, and both within- and across-cohort marital matching. We use the model to assess the economic determinants of the age structure of marriages, and the differences in household specialisation patterns within age-similar and age-dissimilar marriages.
