“…It provides reasons for why each person has his/her own unique system of values and beliefs regarding how the world operates, what are considered morally right or wrong and to what degree, and where his/her being is positioned in the myriad of things in the world and in nature. Different from similar studies in social science (e.g., Carden et al, 2021;Churchland, 2019;Ekstrom, 2000;Gamsakhurdia, 2019), where data-or anecdote-based observations and conjectures are treated as confirmed conclusions, although only statistically for most cases (Forrest, 2018, p. 12-16), discussions in this section are based on the methodology and the holistic thinking of systems science (Forrest et al, 2013).…”

In a sample of 79 districts of the Slovak Republic for the period 1997 -2019, we examine the connection between the unemployment rate and the crude divorce rate. Our findings reveal a negative and statistically significant relationship, which suggests a procyclical nature in terms of the economic cycle. The estimated coefficients are relatively consistent even after the addition of control variables considering socio -economic factors or fixed effects. The results of the regression analysis show that an increase in the unemployment rate by one percentage point is accompanied by a decrease in the crude divorce rate by an average of 0.024 units. These findings support the assumptions of the theory of the high costs of divorce that spouses must bear. In a period of high unemployment, it is more acceptable for spouses to stay married than to bear the high costs associated with legal proceedings or the loss of part of the joint savings. The analysis of possible non-linear relationships between the unemployment rate and the crude divorce rate also showed a negative relationship. Quantile regression also points to the U-shaped relationship between variables and supports the opportunity theory. ii

This paper investigates how a consumer's utility and consequent optimization are determined by his/her natural endowmentsself-awareness, imagination, conscience and free will. It focuses on such general utility that is a function in the dollar value of consumption, the number of hours spent on waged work and a particular value-belief system. For the third variable, we examine that it encourages the consumption of commodities and devalues waged job; it reinforces minimal commodity consumption; and it demands a non-standard optimization. While uncovering how an individual's marginal utility from commodity consumption or waged work varies respectively with different variables, such as non-waged incomes, etc., this paper demonstrates that when an individual decides on how much commodity is to be consumed and how much labor output is to be supplied to waged work by maximizing the corresponding utility, the person's utility and his/her method of optimization are exclusively defined by his/her value-belief system.
