What would I expect to see if I thought about the issue properly in terms of the Schelling points on which marriage is based?
For example, would I expect to see a detectable decrease in the rate at which people get married overall in jurisdictions that legalize same-sex marriage relative to jurisdictions that don’t? Would I expect to see a detectable increase in the rate of out-of-wedlock childbirths in these jurisdictions?
Would I expect to see a more general decrease across jurisdictions, with the rate of decrease proportional to the number of such jurisdictions at any given time?
