Full Description
The central objective of this work is to demonstrate how the theory of stochastic processes and the techniques of stochastic modeling can be used to effectively model arranged marriage settings and to help explain various aspects of the nature of decision-making in arranged marriages. Economists_and social scientists more generally_will find this book useful when conducting empirical and theoretical research on a subject of considerable importance in contemporary times.
