Marc Goñi

Marc Goñi is an economist at the University of Bergen in Norway, known for his research on the dynamics of partner selection and the influence of social environments on marriage choices. His recent study draws on historical events, particularly the temporary suspension of the London Season balls following the death of Queen Victoria's husband, to analyze how such disruptions affect social mobility and marriage patterns among the aristocracy. Goñi's work highlights the complexities of the marriage market and its implications for societal inequality, comparing historical practices with contemporary dating trends, such as those found in modern dating apps.
