> Economists model marriage economically. They assume that women are hyper-rational agents, who get married based on the financial return a husband will provide. Is there any way we can find good statistics on married economists? Do Economists act rationally? Anecdotally the answer is they most definitely do not maximise their gains economically (they don't generally make good decisions in my experience).
