?:abstract
  • Literature on the wives relative income distribution shows that there is a significant drop at the point in the distribution where the wife starts to earn more than her husband. While part of the literature attributes a bunching of couples at this point to the existence of a male breadwinner norm, which states that a wife must not earn more than her husband, others highlight possible explanations unrelated to gender norms. Using Austrian administrative data, I find a significant negative discontinuity of 14.1 percent at the 50 percent threshold in the wives relative income distribution. There is no evidence that this drop is caused by a gender norm. The bunching is rather created by equal-earning couples, which work in the same firm. I do not conclude that there does not exist a male breadwinner norm in Austria. Yet, I demonstrate that it cannot be shown by a drop in the wives relative income distribution. An analysis of systematic income misreporting of wives and husbands shows weak evidence that Austrian couples behave in accordance with the norm. (xsd:string)
