ABSTRACT

Which and how many covariates are relevant to educational hypergamy in the matching market? We address these questions using a Lasso quantile regression framework applied on a unique survey containing information with respect to education or other characteristics associated with economic well-being. Our findings provide evidence for the end of hypergamy as we show that females tend to reduce the educational gap in their preferences for selecting a partner.
