Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to provide the framework to analyze the impact of shocks related to the COVID-19 pandemic on the level of divorce. The model takes into account family/marriage capital with its depreciation, investments in this capital and the costs of divorce. The problem faced by the agent is analyzed and formulas for the optimal division of income between consumption and investments in family capital are derived. Comparative statics is performed by calculating the signs of all derivatives of all variables with respect to all parameters. The analysis shows that a change in economic conditions has the least effect of any factor influenced by COVID-19 in changing the probability of a divorce. To the best of the authors’ knowledge this is the first mathematical model in the literature that covers the issues of the impact of a lock-down on the durability of marriages.

婚姻、离婚与冠状病毒——新冠肺炎对家庭资本影响的理论分析

摘要本文旨在为分析COVID-19大流行相关冲击对离婚水平的影响提供框架。该模型考虑了家庭/婚姻资本及其折旧、对该资本的投资和离婚成本。分析了代理人所面临的问题，导出了家庭资本消费与投资收益的最优分配公式。比较静力学是通过计算所有变量相对于所有参数的所有导数的符号来完成的。分析显示，在受新冠疫情影响的所有因素中，经济状况的变化对离婚概率的影响最小。据作者所知，这是文献中第一个涵盖了禁闭对婚姻持久性影响问题的数学模型。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
