Essays on Educational Attainment and Labor Outcomes Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Economics, The Florida State University, 2021 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Earnings, Husbands; Earnings, Wives; Educational Attainment; Husbands; Marriage; Wives Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In Chapter 3, I explore the relationship of spousal education on labor outcomes for women using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979. The main research question is whether the husband's level of education correlates to the wife's earnings. The sample includes controls for race and educational level for the females. Additionally, for comparison, my analysis is also estimated for men. Then, the additional regressions compare how spousal education correlates to females' earnings versus how spousal education correlates to earnings for males. I find that the perceived benefits of marriage are more robust for men and women. |
