  1. HILDA Survey – Waves 2 to 9 (Pooled). Relative risk ratios in italics, coefficient estimates are in standard text, standard errors reported in parenthesis. Significance levels: **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05, signifance is also denoted here by bold font. Standard errors are adjusted for clustering on household identifier. All estimates (in panels 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
