本文探讨了经济潜力与结婚同居率之间的关系。使用1990年人口普查和1980-1992年高中及以后(二年级队列)的数据，我们开发了一种方法，用于明确估计收入潜力的五个随时间变化的指标。对婚姻形成的分析是基于对父母和孩子的代际小组研究，我们对收入潜力的衡量追加到了这一研究中。结果表明，所有五项衡量收入潜力的指标都对男性的结婚可能性产生了强烈的正向影响，但对女性没有影响。收入潜力不影响男性和女性加入同居联盟。
This article explores the relationship between economic potential and rates of entry into marriage and cohabitation. Using data from the 1990 census and the 1980–1992 High School and Beyond (Sophomore Cohort), we developed a method for explicitly estimating five time-varying measures of earnings potential. The analyses of union formation are based on an intergenerational panel study of parents and children, to which our measures of earnings potential were appended. The results indicate that all five measures of earnings potential strongly and positively influence the likelihood of marriage for men, but not for women. Earnings potential does not affect entry into cohabiting unions for either men or women.
