Data and code for "LGBTQ Economics" in the Journal of Economic Perspectives
Abstract: Public attitudes and policies toward LGBTQ people have improved substantially in recent decades. Economists are actively shaping the discourse around these policies and contributing to our understanding of the economic lives of LGBTQ people. In this paper, we present the most up to date estimates of the size, location, demographic characteristics, and family structures of LGBTQ people in the United States. We describe an emerging literature on the effects of legal access to same-sex marriage on family and socioeconomic outcomes. We also summarize what is known about the size, direction, and sources of wage differentials related to variation in sexual orientation and gender identity. We conclude by describing a range of open questions in LGBTQ economics.
