TESTING ASSORTATIVE MATING: EVIDENCE FROM ARGENTINA

Abstract: In this paper we test the positive -assortative- mating (PAM) hypothesis that posits that marriages can be positively sorted along the couple’s education using Argentinian data. Using a regression approach, we find that the effect of husband’s education on wife&#821...
