Abstract
- This paper examines if there is marriage premium for men in the Czech Republic by using cross-sectional data from WageIndicator survey for 2009 and 2010. This paper inquires whether it is possible to explain this premium by any of the existing theories. Marriage premium is estimated in the amount of 12 -- 15 %. The results do not seem to be in line with the productivity theory or the specialization theory. The theory of human capital accumulation has been proved. On the contrary, the discriminatory theory seems to be plausible explanation of this phenomenon.
