Mating motives lead decision makers to favor attractive people, but this favoritism is not sufficient to create a beauty premium in competitive settings. Further, economic approaches to discrimination, when correctly characterized, could neatly accommodate the experimental and field evidence of a beauty premium. Connecting labor economics and evolutionary psychology is laudable, but mating motives do not explain the beauty premium.
交配动机促使决策者青睐有吸引力的人，但这种偏好不足以在竞争环境中创造出美丽溢价。此外，当正确描述经济歧视方法时，可以巧妙地容纳美丽溢价的实验和现场证据。将劳动经济学和进化心理学联系起来是值得称赞的，但交配动机并不能解释美丽溢价。
