项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY We provide new evidence on the effects of legal access to same-sex marriage on employer decisions about health insurance benefits for same-sex domestic partners of employees. No prior work has used high quality employer surveys such as those we propose to use here: the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey – Insurance Component has asked over 40,000 public and private employers about same-sex domestic partner health benefits since 2013. Together with restricted access to geolocation of the employer, we will examine how the rollout of legal access to same-sex marriage affected decisions about these benefits, and we will examine whether employer characteristics such as firm size or industry are systematically related to the effects of legal same-sex marriage on these employer decisions.

项目概要我们提供了新的证据来证明同性婚姻的合法性对雇主关于同性家庭伴侣健康保险福利的决定之前的工作没有使用我们建议的高质量雇主调查。此处使用：医疗支出小组调查 – 保险部分已询问自 40,000 名公共和私人雇主了解同性家庭伴侣健康福利以来 2013 年。除了限制对雇主地理位置的访问之外，我们还将研究如何同性婚姻合法化的推出影响了有关这些福利的决定，我们将检查雇主特征（例如公司规模或行业）是否系统地与合法同性婚姻对这些雇主决定的影响有关。
