Abstract:
The purpose of the present study is to determine if interracial marriages have any effects on individual-
level earnings. Although the effect of one’s own race on income has been extensively studied, most of the
research to date on the economic effects of being in an interracial marriage looked at only immigrant
populations. Results of the present study suggest that persons in interracial marriages earn as much or
more than persons in white marriages. The only interracial marriages that do worse than white
marriages are those marriages that include an African-American male.
