Abstract

Without assuming innate differences between genders, we show that the simultaneous interaction between frictional labor and marriage markets can result in a "gendered" equilibrium which is consistent with observed empirical regularities: men earn more than women, and their attachment to the labor market is stronger. The equilibrium also exhibits a marriage wage premium for men.
