Capital, Incomes And Life Styles

Abstract

This paper proposes an economic model to analyze an interdependence among capital accumulation. sexual division of labor, and life styles in a perfectly competitive economic system. By life style we mean marital status. We are concerned with the effects of amenity levels of various life styles. Working efficiency and preference on the equilibrium economic structure. We represent a dynamic model and provide the conditions for existence of equilibria. The effects of changes in some parameters on the equilibrium economic structure are examined. It is shown, for instance, that an improvement in the amenity level of women's single life style results in that more men and women live singly.
