Abstract
Based on the GARCH model, the divorce rate in Taiwan is found to be negatively affected by the fertility rate and male earnings and positively influenced by the male unemployment rate, female earnings, female education, and institutional changes providing married women more protection in child custody, child support and alimony and property rights in divorce. The conventional OLS regression method yields poor statistical outcomes.
