| dc.description.abstract | This paper studies the effect of a law that enables the dissolution of marriage
without mutual consent of both spouses on the rates of murder in United
States. The analysis exploits the fact that states passed the law at different
points in time. The variability across time and space in the implementation of
the law offers a potential instrument in order to identify the causal effect of
unilateral divorce law on murder rate. After controlling for state and year
fixed effects, I find that the states which passed the law experienced an
increase of 16 percent in murder rates. | |
