摘要

摘要:本研究以美国陆军士兵为研究对象，研究外因决定的异地搬迁对婚姻的影响。在一项事件研究分析中，我们发现结婚率在搬家前后急剧上升。减少形式的暴露分析显示，在五年的时间里，额外的搬家会使结婚的可能性增加14%，这一幅度与对平民的观察数据相似。搬家会以同样的幅度增加生育率，这表明由搬家引起的婚姻是有长期意图的。我们探讨了我们的发现对与寻找、讨价还价和决策成本相关的婚姻理论的影响。

Making Big Decisions: The Impact of Moves on Marriage among U.S. Army Personnel

ABSTRACT:We use exogenously determined, long-distance relocations of U.S. Army soldiers to investigate the impact of moving on marriage. In an event study analysis, we find that marriage rates increase sharply around the time of a move. Reduced-form exposure analysis reveals that an additional move over a five-year period increases the likelihood of marriage by 14 percent, a magnitude similar to those in observational data on civilians. Moves increase childbearing by a similar magnitude, suggesting that marriages induced by a move are formed with long-term intentions. We explore implications of our findings for theories of marriage related to search, bargaining, and decision-making costs.
