报告主题：Do You Like My Parents? Intergenerational MaritalSorting: Evidence from a Field Experiment
Studies investigating marital matching often face the challenge of sur-vivor bias due to the ex-post survey data they use. We explore thecausal impact of parents’ occupations on their children's marriagematching from an ex-ante perspective via an online dating experi-ment. We find that, first, individuals whose parents have higher socio-economic status occupations enjoy significant premiums in the mar-riage market in terms of matching opportunities and matching quali-ties. Second, individuals with superior ascribed and acquired traits aremore demanding on spouses’ parental occupations. Third, improvingone's cducation and income are more beneficial for individuals whoseparents have higher socioeconomic status occupations. Fourth, themotivation analyses suggest that individuals prefer spouses whoscparents have occupations characterized by high incomc, high socialstatus, and low cldercare costs. Finally, we show that the preferencecfor spouses with parents of high socioeconomic status occupationsmay contribute to an increase in inequality and a decrease in intergen-erational mobility.
