Does love reduce marks?: The impact of girlfriends on academic performance

By Federico M. Rubistein

Based on evolutionary and mate selection theories, I examined the causal impact of having a girlfriend on universitary male students academic performance. Using cross-sectional data from surveys in Universidad de Andres (Buenos Aires, Argentina), I found some evidence that being involved in a relationship improves academic performance. This work aims to motivate the application of Economic tools and thinking to everyday events and its use on policy making."
