摘要

本文探讨了婚姻状况的变化如何影响19世纪中期美国男性的财富积累，使用了与1860年和1870年人口普查手稿时间表相关的联邦军队退伍军人的纵向样本。在控制财富内生性和婚姻选择的情况下，本文提供了强有力的证据，证明婚姻对男性财富积累有积极影响，而结束婚姻对男性财富积累有消极影响。据估计，已婚男性每个婚姻年的财富溢价约为60%。这种可观的财富溢价与妻子专门从事家庭生产密切相关，农民和手工业者从妻子的无偿劳动中获得经济利益。

MARRIAGE AND MEN'S WEALTH ACCUMULATION IN THE UNITED STATES, 1860-1870.

This paper explores how changes in marital status affected men's wealth accumulation in mid-nineteenth-century America, using a longitudinal sample of Union Army veterans linked to the 1860 and 1870 census manuscript schedules. Controlling for the endogeneity of wealth and marital selection, this paper provides strong evidence that marriage had positive effects on men's wealth accumulation, whereas ending a marriage had negative effects. The estimated wealth premium on married men is about 60 percent per marital year. This substantial wealth premium is closely related to wives' specializing in household production, and farmers and craftsmen economically benefited from the unpaid labor of their wives.
