  1. HILDA Survey – Waves 2 to 9 (Pooled) All estimates (in models A to D) include controls for the age (and age squared) of each couple member; each couple member’s education relative to the MSR average for their occupation; dependent children in the household, least one couple member being foreign born, and if the couple are home owners. For ease of analysis, marginal effects are reported. p > abs(Z) in parenthesis. Significance levels: **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05. Standard errors are adjusted for clustering on household identifier
