Abstract

The rise of online dating has the potential to transform marriage outcomes, as it may alter how individuals are matched with partners. To capture the population-level effects of the rise of online dating, we examine how changes in marital racial homogamy from 2008 to 2016 are associated with changes in online dating within local dating markets. We use data from Google Trends and the American Community Survey with fixed-effects regression models to control for differences across dating markets. Our results suggest that the rise of online dating has not substantially influenced trends in racial homogamy, either nationally or within metropolitan areas.

网上约会的兴起与婚姻中的种族同质化

在线约会的兴起有可能改变婚姻结果，因为它可能改变个人与伴侣的匹配方式。为了捕捉在线约会的兴起在人群层面的影响，我们研究了 2008 年至 2016 年间婚姻种族一夫一妻制的变化与当地约会市场中在线约会的变化之间的关联。我们使用谷歌趋势和美国社区调查的数据，通过固定效应回归模型来控制约会市场的差异。我们的研究结果表明，无论是在全国范围内还是在大都市地区内，在线约会的兴起并没有对种族同婚的趋势产生实质性影响。
