Figure 7. Distributions of Gender Relative Income in U.S. Administrative Record Data: Couples who Earn Close to the Same Incomes.
Notes: The sample is the same as in graph B of Figure 6, but is restricted to couples in which the wife earns between 45 and 55 percent of total income. The graph in the top panel retains the point mass of couples earning identical incomes; the graph in the bottom panel excludes it. The bin size used in both graphs is .001; each graph contains 100 bins.
