Marginal revolution article on sex, income, and happiness
Marginal Revolution: Economists and sex
I don't know why they used the title they did; the article doesn't say anything about the plight or lack thereof of economists. As MR's Tyler Cowen points out, there are many interesting statements in even the excerpt of the paper that MR posted. My favorites?
"Greater income does not buy more sex, nor more sexual partners."
"Sexual activity appears to have greater effects on the happiness of highly educated people than those with low levels of education."
"The happiness-maximizing number of sexual partners in the previous year is calculated to be 1."
Anyway, I thought it was yet another neat MR post.
