Migration and career attainment of power couples: the roles of city size and human capital composition权力夫妻的迁移和职业成就：城市规模和人力资本构成的作用Abstract

[url=]Costa and Kahn (2000[/url], The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 115: 1287–1315) documented that power couples tended to be located in large cities, postulating a need to solve a co-location problem peculiar to dual-career, highly educated spouses. Using data from the 2008 to 2014 American Community Surveys, I find that young full-power couples are more likely to move to larger, better-educated cities relative to couples in which just the husband has a college degree and wife-only power couples more likely than couples in which neither spouse has a college degree. I also present new evidence that larger, better-educated cities offer superior joint husband-and-wife career outcomes as measured by occupational attainment for wives and husbands with college degrees.

摘要

Costa和Kahn（2000，The Quarterly Journal of Economics，115：1287-1315）记录了权力夫妇往往位于大城市，假设需要解决双职业，受过高等教育的配偶所特有的共址问题。 根据2008年至2014年美国社区调查的数据，我发现年轻的全能夫妇更有可能转移到规模更大，受过更好教育的城市，相对于只有丈夫拥有大学学位且仅有妻子的权力夫妇的夫妇更多 可能不是配偶都没有大学学位的夫妻。 我还提出了新的证据，表明规模较大，受过良好教育的城市提供了优越的夫妻共同职业结果，以妻子和具有大学学位的丈夫的职业素养来衡量。
