Power Couples Revisited

Back in 2000, my wife and I wrote a paper about Power Couples that interested many people.   We argue that big cities solve the co-location problem so that in an age of ambitious working women that such couples will increasingly cluster in such cities as they meet and marry and stay in such cities or move to such cities.   But, a recent research line has found that some men appear to be troubled by their wife's earnings.   Read this summary here.    Since we care about household income inequality,  the Bertrand et. al. finding suggests that household income inequality will rise because of gender identity.  Couples such as my wife and I are doing pretty well.  I'm proud of her and her resulting earnings, while men who resent having an "equal market" spouse will avoid them and will have lower household income.
