Source: 2008 through 2013 1-year ACS data, except as noted. Notes: Shown are coefficients estimated from the specification of the determinants of the probability of marrying. Each column presents results from a single regression. Regressions are estimated using population weights. Specifications include state, year, and age fixed effects, national and state-year trends, as well as individual demographic controls, and the age-specific state-year sex ratio and unemployment rate. The sample includes all individuals who were unmarried in the calendar year prior to the survey year and those who married in the calendar year prior to the survey year ages 23–25 and 28–30 except as noted. Robust standard errors clustered at the state level in parentheses,
*** p < 0.01,
** p < 0.05,
* p < 0.1.
