Relationship stability: Evidence from labor and marriage markets

Arbeitspapier

Behavior in labor and marriage markets follows similar structures when it comes to commitment to long-term relationships. We argue that there is a joint social skill driving stability in both markets. Applying a grouped fixed-effect estimator on data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, we identify types of individuals at risk of instability in both domains. We provide evidence on how economic preferences and personality are related to instability in both markets. We also show negative consequences of instability in terms of reduced life satisfaction and wealth late in life.
