“…This trend has been attributed to increasing tolerance of nonmarital unions in Western societies as well as the homegrown example of lower income Caribbean groups. Research in Trinidad and Tobago has found that there were approximately 20 unmarried‐couple households for every 100 married‐couple households (Coppin, 2000).…”

“…Studies of marriage patterns and family formation among Caribbeans have primarily focused on economic explanations-namely, the impact of men (Coppin, 2000) and women's (St. Bernard, 2003) labor force participation and educational attainment on relationship formation. Caribbean women have experienced tremendous gains with regard to their participation in the labor force.…”

“…Studies of nonmarital romantic relationships among cohabiting and noncohabiting adults are important for at least two reasons. First, fewer cohabiting unions are resulting in marriage, and this is more likely the case for African Americans (Schoen & Owens, 1992) and Caribbean Blacks (Coppin, 2000). Consequently, there is growing recognition among researchers that not all cohabitations are part of the process leading to marriage and are instead alternative forms of union (Smock, 2000).…”

Economists who publish research in the economics and political economy of race seem averse to citing similar research by black economists. As citations are an important determinant of success as a research economist, black economists can possibly offset the aversion of non-black economists in citing black economists, by citing black economists themselves. This NEA Presidential address considers the relevance of black economist citations, and evaluates the extent to which black economists cite other black economists.

Men’s and Women’s Marriage and Cohabitation Earnings Gaps in Comparative Perspective

In the United States, marriage has been found to provide a “pay-off” for men’s earnings, but there is a scarcity of comparative research to put these findings in context. For women, even less is known regarding the link between marital status and earnings. This study provides insights into whether the financial benefits associated with men’s relationships are universal cross-nationally and extend to women. Using data from the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) we find that marriage and cohabitation earnings premiums for men are common, even when individual characteristics are controlled. For women, there are few differences, especially once individual characteristics are taken into account. This study uses propensity matching to adjust earnings gaps for selection into marriage and shows that selection explains most, but not all of the earnings differences. Our findings suggest a need for additional research concerning the context of marriage as a source of income inequality in comparative perspective.
