DESCRIPTION:Close-kin marriage\, by sustaining tightly knit clan-like struc
 tures\, may impede development. We use 19th and 20th century US state-level
  bans on cousin marriage to study the causal effect of tight kinship on eco
 nomic outcomes. We show that these bans did reduce rates of in-marriage\, a
 nd that affected descendants therefore have higher incomes and more schooli
 ng. We examine the following potential mechanisms\, drawn from the literatu
 re: geographic mobility\, female labor force participation\, age at marriag
 e\, and genetic effects. Our results are most consistent with increased urb
 anization leading to the increase in income.\\n\\nContact: Timothée Demont
