摘要

男性因婚姻取得優於婚前的工資率，是為男性婚姻溢酬。歸納文獻上的相關研究，婚姻溢酬來源主要有三，分別是生產力假說、選擇性假說以及雇主偏好假說。有別於現有文獻大多在普通最小平方法架構下探討婚姻溢酬，本研究針對生產力假說與選擇性假說，考量婚姻選擇性、妻子勞動參與選擇性以及工時內生性對男性工資率的影響，採用分量迴歸模型觀察台灣男性婚姻溢酬在工資條件分配的異質性。結果發現，正的婚姻溢酬隨著工資分配而上升，在工資分配區間存在明顯異質性，且婚姻溢酬似乎隨著經濟發展而有擴大的趨勢。此外，妻子就業對先生的工資率同時存在津貼效果與懲罰效果，隱含已婚婦女投入勞動市場有助於先生的人力資本累積；妻子的工時愈長會愈不利夫妻間的家庭分工，因此妻子工時與先生工資率呈反向關係。

The male marriage premium is that married men earn higher wages than that of single ones. According to the literature, marriage premium can be derived from three sources: productivity hypothesis, selection hypothesis and employer discrimination hypothesis. Aside from the ordinary least square evidence in the existing studies, this thesis employs quantile regression model to tests selection hypothesis and productivity hypothesis in consequence by considering selection of marriage, wife’s labor force participation and labor market hours in the models, focusing on the possible heterogeneity of male marriage premium over the conditional distribution of wage. Empirical results show that marriage premium is higher for higher wage with significant heterogeneity across the wage distribution. Marriage premium seems to increase along with economic development. Furthermore, it is suggested that marriage premium can be decomposed into two parts: premium effect and penalty effect. The former comes from the fact that working wife helps her husband to accumulate human capital while the latter, working hours of wife is harmful to gender division in the household.
