Abstract
I build an investment-and-marriage model to provide a new explanation of the reversed college gender gap, i.e., more women than men are going to college. The explanation is based on differential fecundity and an equilibrium marriage-market effect. The model also sheds light on gender-specific relationships between age at marriage and midlife personal income for American men and women, and the evolving relationship between age at marriage and spousal income for American women.
