　　主題：Education Expansion, Assortative Marriage, and Income Inequality in China　　　
摘要： We document China’s educational assortative marriage and its evolution between 1990 and 2009, using census and household survey data. Empirical results suggest that the positive educational assortative marriage increased significantly since the early 1990s, which is also true for urban areas alone and for different provinces. We then calculate the counterfactual Gini coefficients that would prevail if marriage matching was random in terms of education. For China in 2005, the inequality of per capita household income would drop from 0.508 to 0.476 if marriage was random. For urban areas in 2009, assortative marriage in terms of education also increased Gini coefficients by around 2 percentage points (from 0.316 to 0.337). In the 1990s, while assortative marriage was present, its impact on inequality is negligible.
