Marrying Up: The Role of Sex Ratio in Assortative Matching [PDF]

By observing the large negative exogenous shock to the French male population from to WWI casualties, we study the effect of a change in the sex ratio on marital assortative matching by social class.

Generalized Stable Population and Agent-Based Models of Phenotypic Transmission in Human Populations, with an Application to Body Size

Human Heredity
Introduction: We show that generalizations of stable population (GSPM) and agent-based models (ABMs) are useful tools to simulate trajectories of human phenotypes.

A process of pair formation leading to assortative mating: Passive age-assortative mating by habitat heterogeneity [PDF]

, 2012
We present an individual-based model dealing with mating as a process of pair formation. Model simulations, based on data from a 19-year study of Spanish imperial eagles, Aquila adalberti, showed that the mating pattern of a population is not necessarily

Assortative matching through signals [PDF]

We model signalling in two-sided sequential search with heterogeneous agents and transferable utility. Search via meetings is time-consuming and thereby costly due to discounting. Search via signals is costless, so that agents can avoid almost all search
