Abstract

It is well established that there exist numerous correlations between spouses with respect to economic, social, and other characteristics. Some of these correlations, in turn, may contribute to patterns of inequality across households regarding income and wealth. For example, the more closely correlated are salary levels of husbands and wives, the greater should be the “magnification effect” of this correlation in terms of inequality across households, where salary differences are amplified because of the correlation.
