چکیده انگلیسی:

We study the impact of marital property legislation passed in the US South in the 1840s on households’ investment in risky, entrepreneurial projects. These laws protected the as- sets of newly married women from creditors in a world of virtually unlimited liability. We compare couples married after the passage of a marital property law with couples from the same state who were married before. Consistent with a simple model of household borrowing that trades offagency costs against risk sharing, the effect on investment was heterogeneous. It increased if most household property came from the husband and de- creased if most came from the wife.
