A plea for volunteers from couples

Would you be happy to be interviewed by me as part of my Economics course project (my final assignment)?

I'm after couples¹ who both agree to be interviewed by me. I'd prefer to do this face-to-face, but would also accept various other forms of communication as I'm short on people to interview.

My project is on whether game theory can be used to describe the decision making processes of couples under neo-classical (ie. traditional) economic theories. The interviews will be asking about you and your relationship (essentially to identify it in terms of length, religion, etc) and then putting a number of scenarios (variations on the same scenario) to you and asking what you would do. I'm primarily interested in what factors you would take into account as it's decision making rather than outcome that I'm looking at.

Whilst the tutor at summer school was talking about interviews taking 60-90 minutes (this was to my whole group), I'm expecting these to be less than that, but I'll have a better idea after I run my guinea pig (aka bateleur) through my questions this evening.

Names will not be used, the whole thing will be anonymous. As it's an OU essay it won't be published anywhere either.

If you would consider taking part please either drop a comment here saying so or send me an email (the one on my user page will work if nothing else). Feel free to ask further questions, etc.
