Workin paper: An Economic Theory of Sexual Exchanges and Human Capital, by Elias Carroni, Marina Della Giusta, Davide Dragone July 11, 2025 Abstract We propose a unified economic model of sexual exchanges that treats both unpaid and paid sex as outcomes of individual time allocation decisions. Departing from existing literature that separates sex into marital relations or specialized markets, the model incorporates relational skills, gender norms, and labor market opportunities. It explains gender patterns in the supply and demand of paid sex and offers a rationale for declining sexual activity despite liberal norms. The framework accounts for behavioral responses to shocks, prices, and wage differentials, and can inform policy debates on gender inequality, fertility, and regulation of sex markets

After 12(!) years and 12(!) rejected submissions, our theory paper on price effects in intertemporal models has finally found a home.

It could be useful for rationalizing empirical results of dynamic behavior. Take a look!

By the way, my daughter is the same age...😅

Income and Price Effects in Intertemporal Consumer Problems Davide Dragone University of Bologna Paolo Vanin University of Bologna September 27, 2024 Abstract We study income and price effects for intertemporal consumer problems with monetary and non-monetary dynamic constraints. We focus on short and long-run responses to a permanent change in income or price, and we characterize how such responses depend on the law of motion of non-monetary dynamic constraints and on time discounting. We provide a dynamic analog to the Slutsky equation, and we show the conditions under which the elasticity of demand to income or price is smaller in the long than in the short run, or even has opposite sign.
