本研究強調男性婚姻選擇性以及妻子勞動參與內生性，估計九○年代台灣男性婚姻溢酬的變化。結果發現，男性的婚姻狀態存在顯著選擇性，忽略此選擇性可能造成估計結果偏誤。晚近已婚男性相較於未婚男性的工資函數有正的婚姻溢酬，溢酬來源與妻子的勞動供給有關。妻子參與勞動力有益於先生的人力資本累積及工資率提昇。妻子工時增加對先生工資率並無不利影響，反映台灣家戶的家務工作主要由妻子負擔，夫妻間性別分工不明顯。本研究的政策意涵是，如果能鼓勵更多已婚女性參與全職工作，可能有助於男性婚後人力資本累積及工資提昇。

This study estimates the patterns of marriage premium of male wage in Taiwan over the 90’s, focusing on the selectivity of marriage and the endogeneity of wife’s labor force participation. The empirical results show that marriage status is evidently selected in male’s wage equation. Positive marriage premium existing in male wage over the late 90’s is significantly associated with wife’s labor supply. Wife’s joining labor market brings about favorable effects on husband’s wage due to the complementarity of the couple’s labor market human capital. Gender division in domestic services is not prevalent in Taiwan, thus wife’s working hour does not cause significant unfavorable effects on husband’s wage. And the encouragement of wife’s access to full-time jobs may be advantageous to husband’s wage rate.
