著名的理论一致认为,妻子的资源与婚姻解体呈正相关(即,妻子的独立性假设),而丈夫的资源与离婚呈负相关(即,丈夫的收入假设)。使用收入动态面板研究(1968-1985)的数据,离散时间事件历史分析确定了两个假设所需的修改。首先,妻子的收入与婚姻破裂的风险之间存在非线性的U型关系。第二,丈夫收入的影响随妻子收入的变化而变化。特别是当妻子没有收入时,丈夫收入的减少会对婚姻产生破坏性影响。相比之下,当妻子有收入时,丈夫收入较低对婚姻解体的影响并不显著。最后,结果不支持的假设,更好的经济前景的妻子,衡量的教育和工作时间增加婚姻解体的风险,从她的实际经济地位衡量她的收入。
Prominent theories converge in suggesting that a wife's resources are positively related to marital dissolution (i.e., the wife's independence hypothesis), whereas a husband's resources ale inversely related to dissolution (i.e., the husband's income hypothesis). Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (1968-1985), a discrete-time event history analysis identifies modifications required of both hypotheses. First, wife's earnings have a nonlinear, U-shaped relationship to the risk of marital dissolution. Second, the impact of husband's earnings varies as a function of wife's earnings. In particular when the wife has no earnings, lower husband's earnings have a disruptive effect on the marriage. By contrast, when the wife has earnings, lower husband's earnings have a nonsignificant impact on marital dissolution. Finally, results fail to support the hypothesis that better economic prospects for a wife, measured by education and time worked increase the risk of marital dissolution separately from her actual economic standing measured by her earnings.
