Marriage as Economic Exchange

Abstract: A 4 page paper discussing the types of economic exchanges that take place at or near a marriage. In developed economies such as that in the United States, couples are likely to open a joint checking account (or not) and agree to combine all household income among the working and middle classes. In developing nations, economic exchanges are far more likely to take the form of livestock or real property. The difference appears to be centered in the degree of uncertainty in which individuals live on a daily basis. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
