EDWARDS, Gonzalo. Asymmetries in utility functions and marriage decisions: A Ramsey-Koopmans approach. RAE [online]. 2018, vol.33, n.2, pp.91-99. ISSN 0718-8870.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-88702018000200091.

This paper determines an empirical indicator for the cost of marrying a spouse with a different level of impatience or rate of time preference, and/or a different degree of aversion to intertemporal variability in consumption. Empirical data from different published sources are used to calibrate the model.

Palavras-chave : Ramsey model; rate of time preference; marriage decision; value of impatience; value of risk aversion.
