Whoa. "Our estimates imply that aversion to having the wife earn more than the husband explains 29 percent of the decline in marriage rates over the last thirty years."https://academic.oup.com/qje/article-abstract/130/2/571/2330321 …

I’m a little worried about bias resulting from one member of a couple reporting income for both, but they have some very cool approaches to some difficult analytical problems. Thanks for pointing it out!

Wasn't there research that showed gendered inconsistencies of reporting income using tax records? I think men under-reported their wives earnings when wives were the higher-earner? I wish I could find that article again.

That sounds really familiar. I’ll see if I have it somewhere.

That would be great! I remember wishing I had thought to study that but I can't seem to find the article now.
