Theorists have long maintained that people react to major life events but then eventually return to a setpoint of subjective well-being. Yet prior research is inconclusive regarding the extent of interindividual variability. Recent theoretical models suggest that there should be heterogeneity in long-term stress responding (Bonanno, 2004; Muthén & Muthén, 2000). To test this idea, we used laten...

This paper considers a marriage market with two-sided search and transferable utility in which the match payoff depends on age. It characterizes a set of payoff functions consistent with two salient marriage age patterns, (1) assortative matching by age, and (2) “differential age matching”, a formalization of the age difference at marriage between men and women.

The quality of spouse a woman is willing to marry varies significantly over her lifecycle, first increasing rapidly then falling more slowly as she ages. Men have a similar but less pronounced pattern. We document this and other facts on the quality of chosen spouses depending on the age of marriage. We then interpret these facts in the framework of a non-stationary sequential search model, whi...

Delayed Entry into First Marriage: Further Evidence on the Becker-Landes-Michael Hypothesis In their pioneering research, Becker, Landes and Michael (1977) found that beyond age 30 there is a positive relationship between women’s age at first marriage and marital instability. They interpreted this finding as a “poor-match” effect emerging as the biological clock begins to tick. In analyses of t...
