Three Essays in Labour Economics and Applied Econometrics Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Economics, University of Toronto (Canada), 2022 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Marriage; Military Service; Veterans Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The dissertation is comprised of three chapters. Chapter 1 investigates the marital behaviour of veterans. I first examine the extent to which military service makes men more marriageable using the NLSY97. I present evidence that non-college blacks enjoy the greatest return to military service in both the labour and marriage market. Second, to explain the relatively high intermarriage rates among veterans, I apply a local log odds framework to Census data to examine the social exchange hypothesis. Consistent with this hypothesis, I find both white and black women demand compensation to intermarry. Third, I present evidence in favour of the contact hypothesis. |
