文献摘要 In this article a diagonal mobility model is used to describe the relative effects of husbands' and wives'
characteristics on fertility. Compared with the characteristics of their wives, the characteristics of non-Hispanic
husbands are nearly insignificant in their effect on fertility. The relative importance of husbands' attributes is
much greater among Mexican-American couples. Although this suggests ethnic stereotypes about male
dominance in Mexican-American families, differences in female educational attainment may offer a better
explanation. The most immediate conclusion from this analysis pertains to the use of wives' characteristics
as a proxy for couple data. This strategy is reasonable if female educational levels generally extend into high
school. Relying on wives' characteristics to study marital fertility, however, may be problematic if the analysis
involves respondents with a wide range of educational levels
