两个准实验被用来估计父母离婚对成人劳动力市场和青少年婚姻/生育结果的影响。这些涉及个人经历父母的死亡和加拿大离婚法的立法变化。父母死亡的损失被认为是外源性的，具有丧失亲人背景的儿童的经历为评估离婚造成的父母损失的内生性提供了一个基准。父母离婚的青少年推迟结婚，一旦结婚，婚姻不稳定的可能性更大，但他们的收入和其他人的平均收入没有太大差异。
Two quasi-experiments are used to estimate the impact of parental divorce on the adult labor market and marital/fertility outcomes of adolescents. These involve individuals experiencing the death of a parent and legislative changes to the Canadian divorce law. Parental loss by death is assumed to be exogenous, the experiences of children with a bereaved background offering a benchmark to assess the endogeneity of parental loss through divorce. Adolescents whose parents divorced put off marriage and, once married, suffer a greater likelihood of marital instability, but their earnings and incomes are not on average much different from others.
