本文测量了婚姻安排中卫生设施的附加值。我们使用印度人类发展家庭调查（IHDS）的数据来模拟印度农村男性和女性的婚姻决定，并估计婚姻盈余（结婚的收益）。我们使用的模型来证明，政府的全面卫生运动（TSC）增加了婚姻盈余和改变婚姻市场的结果，男性和女性。分解显示：（i）卫生设施使婚姻对男女都更有吸引力，（ii）TSC暴露导致妻子的剩余份额减少，这意味着婚姻内收益的重新分配。促进家庭公共产品可以改变婚姻市场的结果。我们表明这是印度的全面卫生运动（TSC）的情况。TSC使婚姻更具吸引力，增加了婚姻盈余。虽然这一增加对两性都有利，但妻子的剩余份额减少了。婚姻所得的再分配是决策者必须考虑的重要问题。
This paper measures the additional value of sanitation within the marriage arrangement. We use data from the Indian human development household survey (IHDS) to model the marital decisions of men and women in rural India and to estimate the marital surplus (the gains from being married). We use the model to demonstrate that the government’s Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) increased marital surplus and changed marriage market outcomes for men and women. Decomposition reveals (i) that sanitation makes it more attractive to be in a marriage for both gender, and (ii) that TSC exposure led to a decrease in the wife’s surplus share, implying a redistribution of gains within the marriage. Promoting household public goods can alter marriage market outcomes. We show this to be the case for India’s Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC). The TSC made being married more attractive, increasing marital surplus. While the increase benefits both genders, the wife’s surplus share decreases. Redistribution of marital gains are important for policy makers to consider.
