摘要：In this paper, I revisit the effects of unilateral divorce laws on female labor supply. I use a variety of models to check
the robustness of the results and find that the estimated effects on female labor supply are remarkably robust. The
main estimates that I use in this paper suggest that unilateral divorce laws increase female labor force participation
rates by roughly 4–5 percentage points and that these effects strengthen over time. There are also strong, long-term
effects on the weeks and hours of work and on participation in full-time work. In addition, this paper compares the
dynamic participation responses of married mothers versus married non-mothers, high-education versus low-education
women, young versus old women and white versus black women.
