SES-1028874PI: Sara M. McLanahanCo-PI: Daniel J. SchneiderInstitution: Princeton UniversityThis study uses quantitative analyses of multiple data sets to chart changes in the timing of wealth acquisition and marriage across cohorts. It estimates how individuals' and potential partners' wealth holdings relate to propensity to marry. It examines if inequalities in wealth ownership by race and education may explain disparities in marriage entry by race and education. And, it leverages recent exogenous shifts in wealth holdings brought on by the economic crisis to generate better causal estimates of the link between wealth and marriage.Broader Impacts: This research has the potential of informing us that reduced marriage may stem not from a lack of enthusiasm for marriage, but rather from structural constraints in the context of widely shared aspirations to marry. Additionally, family policy and asset policy have both been areas of recent activity but have largely stood as separate silos. The proposed research bridges these two important areas of policymaking.

SES-1028874PI：Sara M. McLanahanCo-PI：丹尼尔J.施奈德研究所：这项研究使用多个数据集的定量分析来绘制财富获得和婚姻时间的变化。它估计了个人和潜在伴侣的财富持有量与结婚倾向的关系。它审查了财富所有权的不平等，种族和教育可能解释婚姻进入种族和教育的差异。而且，它利用了最近的外生变化的财富持有带来的经济危机，以产生更好的因果关系估计之间的联系财富和marriage.Broader影响：这项研究有可能告诉我们，减少婚姻可能源于缺乏对婚姻的热情，而是从结构性的限制，在广泛共享的愿望结婚的背景下。此外，家庭政策和资产政策都是最近的活动领域，但在很大程度上是独立的筒仓。拟议的研究将这两个重要的决策领域联系起来。
