The analysis is undertaken in the actual economy and in a counterfactual in which all family types are alike in terms of education, race, age, presence of children, and geographical variables. Our analysis suggests that the sexual orientation wage disadvantage that men in same-sex couples experience coexists with a family income advantage (in both the actual and the counterfactual economy), which arises from the higher probability of two-earner couples among male same-sex couples and their gender wage advantage. However, these two features are not enough to protect male couples in the low tail of the income distribution, who have lower conditional earnings than married different-sex couple families do. As for female same-sex couple families, their position in the counterfactual income distribution seems to be strongly limited by the gender wage gap these women experience, which is not outweighed by the sexual orientation wage advantage they have and the higher probability of two-earner couples among these families.","PeriodicalId":47111,"journal":{"name":"Review of Economics of the Household","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11150-025-09789-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147382120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While there is a long literature estimating a variety of factors that contribute to this low demand, much of it has overlooked the fact that most private long-term care insurance (LTCI) purchases are made within couples, adding a host of additional reasons for low demand. This paper examines the role of financial decision-making power within the couple and the association with LTCI purchase decisions. We document LTCI purchase patterns among married couples and find that, among couples who ever purchase LTCI, they are roughly equally likely to purchase for the woman exclusively (10.0%), the man exclusively (11%), or both (11%). However, among couples where women have more bargaining power, LTCI purchases are more likely overall (40% vs. 33%), and more likely to cover the woman, either exclusively (16% vs. 11%) or as part of both members of the couple (14% vs. 11%), than among couples with more traditional gender roles. In adjusted analyses, we find that women are more likely to be insured when they have more bargaining power. These findings suggest that intra-household bargaining power may be another potential explanation for the particularly low LTCI take-up, especially in the time period in which policies were unisex-priced.","PeriodicalId":47111,"journal":{"name":"Review of Economics of the Household","volume":"23 4","pages":"1189-1220"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12602659/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145507776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Women usually experience an immediate decrease in their income after childbirth, compared to what they would have earned if they had not become mothers. This gap closes somewhat over time, though mothers never fully catch up to their counterfactuals. Previous work tried to explain this “motherhood penalty” by estimating the average treatment effect of children on women’s income; however, these effects can be quite heterogeneous across mothers with different observable characteristics. Instead, our analysis centers on the distribution of the individual-level effects of the first childbirth on mothers’ income, using the Changes-in-Changes model and quantile regression. Identifying the features of this distribution is a challenging task as it requires knowledge of joint distribution. We find that around 73% of mothers have lower income after their first childbirth than they would have had if they had not had a child. These adverse effects are particularly pronounced among 10–20% of mothers. Our quantile regression analysis indicates that the first childbirth most negatively affects older, single/divorced, white, and more educated mothers.","PeriodicalId":47111,"journal":{"name":"Review of Economics of the Household","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
