LATER MARRIAGE LEADING TO PAIRING OFF, AND INCREASING INCOME DIFFERENCES The best results on assortative mating and inequality I have seen by Tyler Cowen This paper studies the evolution of assortative mating in the permanent wage (the individual-specific component of wage) in the U.S., its role in the increase in family wage inequality, and the factors behind this evolution. I first document a substantial trend in assortative mating, as measured by the permanent wage correlation of couples, from 0.3 for families formed in the late 1960s to 0.52 for families formed in the late 1980s. I show that this trend accounts for more than one-third of the increase in family wage inequality across these cohorts of families. I then argue that the increase in marriage age across these cohorts contributed to the assortative mating and thus to the rising inequality. Individuals face a large degree of uncertainty about their permanent wages early in their careers. If they marry early, as most individuals in the late 1960s did, this uncertainty leads to weak marital sorting along permanent wage. But when marriage is delayed, as in the late 1980s, the sorting becomes stronger due to the quick resolution of this uncertainty with work experience. After providing reduced-form evidence on the impact of marriage age, I build and estimate a marriage model with wage uncertainty and show that the increase in marriage age can explain almost 80% of the increase in assortative mating. https://sites.google.com/site/alparslantuncay2018/research

    (FB 1542993442 Timestamp) It is extremely clear that among the masculine and feminine biases – in particularly the need for community – favors the verbal, illusory, feminine, and conformist in some pools, and the actionable, existential masculine, and disruptive in others. Gender biases expressed at group levels at all scales. What is not clear is how absolutely rare the disruptive is – nor how – counter to intuitions – it’s the most important evolutionary trait for any civilization.

It’s superstition promising life after death has been replaced by the promise of eliminating genetic differences in outcome under the pseudoscience marxism-postmodernism-feminism and a hatred of white man. What you don’t understand is that the religion was invented to conquer and defeat white man. It was imposed by violence just as was islam. With the same results. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam were invented as hatreds of white man and his truth, reason, technology, markets, and aristocracy. They have always hated us. They have their reasons. We are evidence.
