Simulating the Mutual Sequential Mate Search Model under Non-homogenous Preferences

Abstract

This paper extends the Todd and Miller's (1999) mutual sequential mate search model with homogenous preferences to the case of non-homogenous preferences. Our simulations show that the size of heterogeneity in the preferences affects the performance rankings -as well as the absolute success levels- of the mate search heuristics in the model with respect to both mating likelihood and mating stability.
