Who Marries Whom and Why

چکیده
This paper proposes and estimates a static non-parametric transferable utility model of the marriage market. The model rationalizes the standard interpretation of marriage rate regressions as well as pointing out its limitations. The model was used to estimate US marital behavior in 1971/72 and 1981/82. The estimates show that the gains to marriage for young adults fell substantially over the decade. It also showed that the legalization of abortion had a significant quantitative impact on the fall in the gains to marriage for young adults.

متن کاملWhy Do You Follow Him?: Multilinear Analysis on Twitter
Why does Smith follow Johnson on Twitter? In most cases, the reason why users follow other users is unavailable.

Concretely, our method decomposes a coupled tensor constructed from these matrix and tensor. The experimental results on...
