In the marital market, men and women are involved in random<\/div>\n<div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">sequential search for a partner. Men are seen as breadwinners in the family, and therefore in the labour market unemployed men perform a constrained<\/div>\n<div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">sequential search for jobs. We establish that, if divorce is an option, married men have a higher reservation wage than single men when a male marriage<\/div>\n<div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">wage premium exists. This result is true with exogenous as well as endogenous wage distributions, where the latter scenario implies firms discriminate by<\/div>\n<div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">marital status. We successfully test our results using German data.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title:\u00a0Marriage. divorce and reservation wages Date: \u00a04 October 2023 Time: 13:00-14:00 Location: NUBS.2.03 Speaker: Roberto Bonilla If you would like to attend, please register using&#8230; <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/2023\/09\/28\/economics-research-community-seminar-dr-roberto-bonilla-trejos\/\" rel=\"bookmark\"><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11659,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[296,25,210,428],"class_list":["post-15748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-research","tag-event","tag-research","tag-research-seminar","tag-seminar"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11659"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15748"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15748\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15799,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15748\/revisions\/15799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
