摘要

20 世纪 60 年代末开始实施的单方离婚法（UDL）导致美国离婚率飙升。我们的问题是，离婚变得更容易是否会影响婚姻的教育结构。利用 1970-1988 年的结婚证和离婚证数据，我们为婚姻流入（新婚）和流出（离婚）的教育结构演变提供了新的证据。接下来，我们利用各州引入 UDL 的时间来估算 UDL 对这两种流动的影响。我们发现，UDL 影响了离婚的教育结构，但没有影响新婚的教育结构：它使一般不稳定的低婚配夫妇（与受教育程度较低的伴侣结婚的妇女）离婚的可能性降低，而使同婚配夫妇比高婚配夫妇（与受教育程度较高的伴侣结婚的妇女）更稳定。

Who Divorces Whom: Unilateral Divorce Legislation and the Educational Structure of Marriage.

The introduction of unilateral divorce legislation (UDL) starting in the late 1960s led to spikes in U.S. divorce rates. We ask whether making divorce easier affected the educational structure of marriage. Using marriage and divorce certificate data covering 1970-1988, we provide new evidence on the evolution of the educational structure of marriage inflows (newlyweds) and outflows (divorces). Next, we leverage the timing of UDL introduction across states to estimate its effects on both flows. We find that UDL affected the educational structure of divorce but not of new marriages: it made generally unstable hypogamous couples (women married to less educated partners) less likely to divorce and made homogamous couples more stable than hypergamous ones (women married to more educated partners).

期刊介绍： Since its founding in 1964, the journal Demography has mirrored the vitality, diversity, high intellectual standard and wide impact of the field on which it reports. Demography presents the highest quality original research of scholars in a broad range of disciplines, including anthropology, biology, economics, geography, history, psychology, public health, sociology, and statistics. The journal encompasses a wide variety of methodological approaches to population research. Its geographic focus is global, with articles addressing demographic matters from around the planet. Its temporal scope is broad, as represented by research that explores demographic phenomena spanning the ages from the past to the present, and reaching toward the future. Authors whose work is published in Demography benefit from the wide audience of population scientists their research will reach. Also in 2011 Demography remains the most cited journal among population studies and demographic periodicals. Published bimonthly, Demography is the flagship journal of the Population Association of America, reaching the membership of one of the largest professional demographic associations in the world.
