Title: Communication Technology Advance and Consequences: Using a Two-sided Search Model

Abstract: Does communication technology advance such as online dating sites and social networking services, really make us happier? Rather, are they bringing us worse equilibrium, as a result, for us and our whole society than before? We present a non-stationary two-sided search market equilibrium model for analysing marital relationship formulation including cohabitation. Using the model, we quantify the effects of the communication technology changes on marital relationship choices. Furthermore, I compare the equilibrium matching patterns and the social welfare level derived from the search model and those derived from the frictionless matching model as a convergent limit of the search model.
