Workin paper: An Economic Theory of Sexual Exchanges and Human Capital, by Elias Carroni, Marina Della Giusta, Davide Dragone
July 11, 2025
Abstract
We propose a unified economic model of sexual exchanges that treats both unpaid and paid sex as outcomes of individual time allocation decisions. Departing from existing literature that separates sex into marital relations or specialized markets, the model incorporates
relational skills, gender norms, and labor market opportunities. It explains gender patterns in the supply and demand of paid sex and offers a rationale for declining sexual activity despite liberal norms. The framework accounts for behavioral responses to shocks, prices,
and wage differentials, and can inform policy debates on gender inequality, fertility, and regulation of sex markets

Yesterday I gave a seminar at Lund University—20 years after studying there as an Erasmus student. Presenting in the same room where I once sat as a student was both academically stimulating and deeply nostalgic. A great mix of past and present. Thanks @jbietenbeck.bsky.social for the invitation!

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC.

Nazism has officially taken over the GOP.

The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.
