| Tiivistelmä: | The article examines equilibrium self-improvement and marriage proposal strategies in a two-sided search model with nontransferable utility. It is shown there are two externalities to self-improvement decisions. These externalities may support multiple Pareto rankable equilibria. By encouraging everybody to selfimprove, society can create a situation where everybody is forced to improve to remain "acceptable". But a preferred equilibrium may exist where there is less (costly) self-improvement. |
