摘要

Income and wealth inequality, as well as social cohesion, have become a prominent part of the political discourse since the publication of the seminal book by Piketty (Capital in the Twenty-First Century. Cambridge Massachusetts: The Belknap Press of Harvard University; 2014). The year of its publication is a landmark also in the academia: the number of scientific papers on these topics skyrocketed after 2014. The study of assortative mating that aims to quantify the degree of inclination of people to marry their like, while dating back several decades, has also got renewed attention in the recent years.
