對經濟茫然 - 經濟

※ 引述《forng (機會)》之銘言：
: 小弟一直有個疑惑
: 希望板上的前輩來給小第一些開示
: 小弟念個體經濟學一直覺得
: 個經到底能不能在生活上應用到?
: 像學了 完全競爭市場下的均衡解
: 獨佔 寡占等等的模型
: 對目前的我來說 除了為了考試而念之外我不知道這些對於我未來有甚麼用
: 像總經我還可以用來推測總體趨勢
: 可是個經我念的真的是一點目的性都沒有
: 除了用來訓練邏輯思考外
: 在經營企業上 真的用的到這些模型嗎?
: 念通這些模型 除了用來考研究所之外還有何用途?
: 這些是小弟想要請教的長久以來的疑惑 謝謝~

剛好看到一篇paper的abstract 也算是個經的領域
看完之後我覺得很有意義 對未來可能也會有幫助
這個目的更是偉大 在生活上的應用上我覺得潛力無限
下面是title跟abstract供你參考

Terms of Endearment: An Equilibrium Model of Sex and Matching --
by Peter Arcidiacono, Andrew W. Beauchamp, Marjorie B. McElroy

We develop a directed search model of relationship formation which can
disentangle male and female preferences for types of partners and for
different relationship terms using only a cross-section of observed matches.
Individuals direct their search to a particular type of match on the basis
of (i) the terms of the relationship, (ii) the type of partner, and
(iii) the endogenously determined probability of matching.
If men outnumber women, they tend to trade a low probability of a preferred
match for a high probability of a less-preferred match; the analogous
statement holds for women. Using data from National Longitudinal Study of
Adolescent Health we estimate the equilibrium matching model with high school
relationships. Variation in gender ratios is used to uncover male and female
preferences. Estimates from the structural model match subjective data on
whether sex would occur in one's ideal relationship. The equilibrium result
shows that some women would ideally not have sex, but do so out of matching
concerns; the reverse is true for men.
