    Who gets the Better Deal in Marriage? Examining Racial Differences in Brazilian Marriage Market
    (2025) Duque, Daniel; França, Michael; Mendonca, Milena
    This paper studies women’ marriage market in Brazil, investigating socioeconomic disparities and their trends in marriage outcomes. Relying on nationally representative data from the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) covering 2002 to 2024, we analyze the association between marital status and these variables, as well as patterns of assortative mating by examining the educational and productivity pairing within couples. The results indicate that higher educational attainment among women is associated with a greater likelihood of being married, but, after accounting for education and age, black and mixed-race women continue to exhibit lower marriage rates relative to white counterparts. The analysis also reveals a strong persistence of educational assortment among spouses, but black and mixed-race women have lower quality husbands, even with sociodemographic controls, with non-consistent trends towards more or less inequality. We also show that a similar pattern arises across parental education, with black women from highly educated parents having lower marriage outcomes. Together, these findings advance the understanding of how economic sorting in the marriage market can reinforce broader patterns of racial and educational inequality in Brazil.

    Racial social norms among Brazilian students: Academic performance, popularity, and racial identification
    (2022) Portellaa, Alysson; Kirschbauma, Charles; NAERCIO AQUINO MENEZES FILHO
    Studies in the United States have shown that minority students might face a trade off between better academic performance and peer acceptance, which has been termed “acting White.” This paper investigates racial differences in the relationship between grades and popularity in five Brazilian schools. Popularity is measured using friendship ties among students, assigning a higher value to students more central in the network. The racial composition of friendship ties is generally diverse, although they tend to favor racial peers, especially among Black students. We find a positive correlation between grades and popularity of non-White students that is driven by their friendships with their White classmates.This contrasts with patterns associated with acting White, where a negative correlation between minorities’ grades and their popularity among racial peers is not compensated by their status among White students. We also investigate how academic performance is associated with racial identity choice conditional on skin color, finding a weak negative relationship between higher grades and the odds of classification as mixed race.
