A new study from the United States is suggesting that the concept of fatherhood might be more appealing than motherhood. The study suggests that more men want children than women. That's not an entirely new finding, however, according to Marina Adshade with the University of British Columbia's Vancouver School of Economics. She joins Evan to discuss the study.

Magazine articles and advice columns are commonly littered with spurious statistics about how much sex we're having. So how much do we really know – and what are the difficulties of collecting information about such an intimate part of our lives? Doctor Marina Adshade from the Vancouver School of Economics, who specialises in the economics of sex and love, answers questions posed by a curious More or Less listener in Japan.
A guide to the most concerning, striking and downright extraordinary numbers of 2021. Tim Harford asks three More or Less interviewees about their most significant and memorable figure over the past year. From the excess death toll of Covid-19; to declining total fertility rates, and a spike in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, we showcase the numbers that tell us something about the year gone by.

Sex robots are coming! This week Dalton & Nick talk with Marina Adshade, an economist at the University of British Columbia who's written a lot about sex bots. What are sex robots, & what can they do? Marina is optimistic about the prospects of robots for making relationships better by serving as the, um, receptacles of unmet sexual desires. Nick is customarily cautious about predicting the future to come, & Dalton is all for it on the basis of his libertarianism.

Dr. Marina Adshade, professor of the Economics at the University of British Columbia, welcomed me into her home to talk about sex robots and marriage! How might the recent technological changes affect the concept of marriage and relationships more broadly? If Sex Robots can fulfill you sexually, does that take sex compatibility out of the relationship equation? Does it open the door to conversations about non-monogamy? Marina started a course on the Economics of Sex, which turned into a blog, and turned into "Dollars & Sex" the book! More recently, she published an article in Slate called "How Sex Robots Could Revolutionize Marriage—for the Better" (Aug 14, 2018). By way of this article, we cover a full range of rabbit holes including: morality, economic factors of relational compatibility, defining love, why we marry, emotional labour and self-awareness. I am so grateful for Marina's time and honesty, and I love how personal we end up getting! What do you guys think? Get at us on Twitter @christinewild_ and @MarinaAdshade Here's the Slate article: slate.com/technology/2018/08/sex-robots-could-totally-redefine-the-institution-of-marriage I highly recommend you read and watch more of Marina's work on www.marinaadshade.com Here's the link to Carrie Jenkins that Marina references regarding defining love: www.carriejenkins.net Star Trek episode reference: The Perfect Mate, Star Trek: The Next Generation episode (season 5, episode 21) Thank you for your likes, favorites, subscribes, reviews and ratings!

The song says "money can’t buy me love." But we know that’s not really true. The fact is, the same market forces that drive our economy, also drive our search for sex and love. Issues like abundance, scarcity, the price of commodities...like beer, all contribute to who we choose and the success and failure of those relationships. In 2008 Marina Adshade launched an undergraduate course, at the University of British Columbia, titled Economics of Sex and Love, which invited her students to approach questions of sex and love through an economist's lens. The class was an immediate hit with students and, by the time the first term started, had generated international media attention. Now the book, Dollars and Sex.
