The core of this book is a general equilibrium theory of labor and marriage presented in Chapter 2, which provides the conceptual framework for the rest of the chapters. Two major implications of the theory are sex ratio effects and compensating differentials in marriage. The book demonstrates how a few core concepts, linked via economic analysis, help explain a multitude of findings based on statistical analyses of data from a wide variety of cultures. It is hoped that readers of this book will improve their understanding of how marriage works to help us design better economic and social policies as well as help people live better and happier lives, making the book of interest to not only economists but sociologists and anthropologists as well.. | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-1623-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4939-4250-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4614-1623-4 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015 |
