    The Role of Marriage in Fighting HIV: A Quantitative Illustration for Malawi

    Greenwood, Jeremy; Kircher, Philipp; Santos, Cezar; Tertilt, Michéle | January 2017
    Abstract
    How might policies that promote marriage and/or dissuade divorce help in the fight against HIV/AIDS? This question is addressed employing a choice-theoretic general equilibrium search model, using Malawi as a case study. In the framework developed, individuals can choose between married and single life. A single person can select among abstinence and sex with or without a condom. The results suggest that marriage-friendly policies can help to abate HIV/AIDS. The policy predictions that obtain from general equilibrium analysis are compared with those that arise from simulated synthetic field experiments and epidemiological studies.
