Abstract
Using Norwegian survey data (n=4116), we study couples’ likelihood of pooling their

economic resources. The proportion of cohabiting couples to married couples is high in

Norway. In addition, over the last decades, tax policy and the social security system have

moved in the direction of equating cohabitation with marriage. Our knowledge about the

ways in which these two different kinds of couples organize their economic resources is,

however, rather limited. Our main hypothesis is that cohabiting couples are less likely to

pool their economic resources than married couples, but that this difference is less if they

have plans to marry. We take into account important factors that have largely been

ignored in many earlier studies, i.e. the presence of children and the duration of the

relationship. The results confirm our hypothesis but also show that the difference between

cohabiting couples and married couples is reduced once controls are in place for these

important factors. Implications for policy are discussed.
