The legalization of same-sex marriage allows homosexuals’ access to legal rights and social benefits, which can make marriage more attractive in comparison to singlehood or other forms of partnership. The results clearly show that legalization increased the migration flow of gay men to states that legalized same-sex marriage. We do not detect statistically significant effects for women in the short term. Supplemental analysis, developed to explore whether the migration flow translated to a significant effect on the number of homosexuals by state, suggests that the increase after the legalization of same-sex marriage was transitory. Legalization of same-sex marriage also reduces the incentives for non-US-native individuals originating from intolerant countries to move to a state that permits same-sex marriage. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S32-20R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 6.1 2022 ECONOMICS 38 / 380 = 0.1 2022 Q1 T1 DEMOGRAPHY 1 / 30 = 0.033 2022 Q1 T1 2.986 2022 Economics and Econometrics 2022 Q1 Demography 2022 Q1 9.2 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Morales, Marina Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-9957-6613 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
