Project Description

View help for Summary
This paper considers the role of marriage in improving labor market
outcomes through the expansion of an individual's networks. I focus
on the impact of the relationship with the father-in-law on a young
man's career using panel data from China. The identification strategy
isolates the network effects related to a man's father-in-law by examining
the post-marriage death of a father-in-law. The estimates suggest
that the loss of the father-in-law translates into a decrease in a man's
earnings of 7 percent.
