年龄、教育与宗教相似性择偶偏好的双边估计
- 研究问题
- 仅利用已婚者与单身者的横截面数据，如何同时估计男女双方的择偶偏好，并处理未记录的可选伴侣集合与匹配过程？
- 方法与思路
- 作者结合博弈论行为模型、离散选择估计与固定效应，在个人从可得伴侣中自由选择的假设下，估计双边平均偏好及异质性。
- 材料陈述的贡献
- 摘要称方法无需观察选择集合或指定匹配过程细节；应用显示男女偏好大致对称或互补，保守派新教徒的宗教同质婚偏好较强。
- 阅读关注点
- 应核对自由选择假设如何支持识别、固定效应控制哪些缺失特征，以及偏好异质性、信息限制与未知选择集合如何处理。
- 阅读边界
- 仅据版本未注明的索引摘要，不能推断刊本变化；对未知匹配过程的稳健性依赖所述行为假设，摘要未给出估计数值或因果解释依据。
原文摘要
We propose a two-sided method to simultaneously estimate men's and women's preferences for relative age, education, and religious characteristics of potential mates using cross-sectional data on married couples and single individuals, in conjunction with a behavioral model developed in game theory and discrete choice estimation methods developed for simpler, one-sided choice situations. We use fixed effects to control for characteristics that are observed by the opposite sex but are missing from our data. Estimated mean preference coefficients determine the average degree to which measured characteristics of individuals affect others' evaluations of them as marital partners, whereas the model also accounts for variation of preferences around the means and for limitations in men's and women's information about members of the opposite sex. By assuming that each individual chooses freely from the set of potential partners that he or she finds available, we estimate preferences without having to observe these sets or specify any details of the matching process. This makes our method robust to unknown features of the process. Application of the method to data from the first wave of the National Survey of Families and Households indicates roughly symmetric or complementary preferences of men and women for age, education, and religious affliation characteristics of potential mates and a much stronger preference for religious homogamy among conservative Protestants relative to mainline Protestants than was suggested by an earlier, retrospective study of religious differences in the temporal stability of marriages. Our method should be useful in many situations in which voluntary pairings have arisen through some complex process, the details of which have not been recorded. Besides marriage and cohabitation, data on employment, college attendance, and the coresidence of elderly parents with adult children often have this character, as do some biological data on nonhuman mating.
