The Core Variables of Love Economics |
The Love Economic Model assumes people fall in love because the total benefit of being in love outweighs the total cost of being in love. So the probability of falling in love is related to your perception of the probability of net benefit resulting from being in love. Mathematically, the Model is written as:
|
| Probability of Love |
= |
Probability of ( Net Benefit of Being in Love,
Emotional Availability,
Past Love Experiences )
|
| ---------------------------------------:--------------------------------------- |
| Net Benefit |
= |
Total Benefit - Total Cost
|
| ---------------------------------------:--------------------------------------- |
| Total Benefit |
= |
friendship + fulfillment of sexual needs
|
| friendship |
= |
fulfillment of ( emotional needs +
entertainment needs +
materialistic needs - sexual needs)
|
| Total Benefit |
= |
fulfillment of (emotional needs + entertainment needs + materialistic needs)
|
| emotional needs |
= |
esteem needs + social needs + spiritual needs + safety needs
|
| materialistic needs |
= |
primary needs + sexual needs + materialistic desires
|
| ---------------------------------------:--------------------------------------- |
| Total Cost |
= |
cost of (search + rejection + research + maintenance + opportunity) + breakup risk
|
| search cost |
= |
your attractiveness + social networking skills + time cost + financial cost
|
| rejection cost |
= |
-(your self-esteem + frequency of past rejections)
|
| research cost |
= |
knowledge of self + diagnostic abilities + proximity
|
| maintenance cost |
= |
emotional cost +
time cost to fulfill emotional, entertainment, materialistic needs +
financial cost to fulfill emotional, entertainment, materialistic needs
|
| breakup risk |
= |
risk of being dumped + your breakup cost
|
| ---------------------------------------:--------------------------------------- |
| Commitment |
= |
future net benefit - future net benefit from another love +
current breakup cost
|
