- Abstract
Patricia Apps of University of Sydney reviews 'The Marriage Motive: A Price Theory of Marriage: How Marriage Markets Affect Employment, Consumption, and Savings', by Shoshana Grossbard. The Econlit abstract of this book begins: 'Uses price theory to analyze how economic outcomes (such as employment, other time uses, consumption, and savings) are related to marriage markets. Discusses a theory of allocation of time in markets for labor and marriage-macromodel; a theory of allocation of time in markets for labor and marriage-multiple markets for work-in-household; how marriage markets affect allocation and valuation of time implications from a macro model; compensating differentials in marriage markets and more new implications for labor supply based on a Marshallian marriage market analysis; revisiting labor supply effects of sex ratio, income, and wage-effects of marriage-related laws; labor supply, household production, and common law marriage legislation; labor supply and marriage markets-a simple graphic analysis with household public goods; household production and racial intermarriage; a consumption theory with competitive markets for work-in-household; and savings, marriage, and work-in-household. Grossbard doesn't have a current affiliation.'
