摘要

This work examines the influence of receiving performance pay on the probability that a worker will divorce. Uniquely, it compares two different cohorts of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Regression estimates show that, in the older cohort, performance pay decreases the probability of divorce among men and increases it among women. After accounting for the mediating role of household income and wages, there is no direct impact of performance pay on divorce for men but the direct impact for women remains significant. Indeed, this impact remains significant even when accounting for normative gender roles, individual fixed-effects, and the timing of performance pay relative to divorce. In the younger cohort, however, there is no significant impact of performance pay on men or women.
