Love or Money? The economics of online dating

Philly.com published a Reuters story quoting Marina Adshade, a lecturer at UBC’s School of Economics, about the relationship between money and love.

“Dating markets don’t have currency, so they depend on other mechanisms to operate, much like a barter system,” Adshade said. “It all depends on what you are bringing to the table. Some of those qualities might be age or attractiveness – and some are financial.”
