Marriage and the military: evidence that those who serve marry earlier and divorce earlier / Hogan, Paul F; Seifert, Rita Furst   Journal Article
Hogan, Paul F Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract Under the compensation system of the U.S. Armed Forces, members who are married or have dependents receive higher rates of pay and greater benefits than those who are single with no dependents. This article examines the hypothesis that these compensation policies induce earlier marriage by active-duty military members compared to otherwise similar civilians who have not served on active duty. Using a logistic regression model on American Community Survey data, the authors estimate the effect of active-duty military service on the probability of being married for twenty-three- to twenty-five-year-olds. Controlling for other factors affecting marriage rates, the authors find that the odds of being married were about three times greater for those with military service compared to similar civilians who have not served. For persons ever married, the probability of divorce is significantly greater for those who have served two or more years on active duty.

Walter Oi and his contributions to the All-Volunteer Force – theory, evidence, persuasion / Warner, John T; Hogan, Paul F   Article
Warner, John T Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Walter Y. Oi died in late 2013 at the age of 84. Despite the fact that he was effectively blind since the 4th grade, he became a major contributor to the discipline of Economics and to public policy. An important public policy issue in the late 1960s and early 1970s was the military draft. Legislation to create a volunteer force was signed on 28 September 1971, and conscription was terminated on 30 June 1973. We discuss the key roles that Oi played in the termination of conscription and the subsequent implementation of a volunteer force, and we highlight his contributions to the discipline of Economics.
