The merger of populations, the incidence of marriages, and aggregate unhappiness
Stark, Oded; Rendl, Franz; Jakubek, Marcin - 2011
Let a society’s unhappiness be measured by the aggregate of the levels of relative deprivation of its members. When two societies of equal size, F and M, merge, unhappiness in the merged society is shown to be higher than the sum of the levels of unhappiness in the constituent societies when...

A class of proximity-sensitive measures of relative deprivation
Stark, Oded; Bielawski, Jakub; Falniowski, Fryderyk - 2017
We introduce a new class of generalized measures of relative deprivation. The class takes the form of a power mean of order p . A characteristic of the class is that depending on the value of the proximity-sensitive parameter p , the class is capable of accommodating both a decreasing weight...

On marriage and migration
Stark, Oded - In: European Journal of Population 4 (1988) 1, pp. 23-37
Marriage, migration and related phenomena such as marital stability, fertility and investment in human capital may be … better explained by studying marriage and migration jointly. We thus proceed in this paper to explore the role of migration … in obtaining joint labour-market and marriage-market equilibrium. This facilitates identification of several novel and …

Tales of Migration without Wage Differentials: Individual, Family, and Community Contexts
Stark, Oded - In: Institutions and Economic Development (2003) 2, pp. 79-92
By means of examples that pertain to individual, family, and community contexts, it is shown that migration between locations is compatible with a zero expected net earnings differential between locations. The examples give rise to testable predictions that differ sharply from the predictions...

Intergenerational Transfers and the Demonstration Effect
Cox, Donald; Stark, Oded - Department of Economics, Boston College - 1996
How can parents secure old-age support in the form of care, attention or financial transfers from their children? We explore the enforcement of implicit intergenerational agreements from a fresh angle by studying the possibility that the child's conduct is conditioned by the parents' example....
