Partners follow a progressive set of steps, each with visible markers, toward a clear goal. The goal at the top of the escalator is to achieve a permanently monogamous(sexually and romantically exclusive between two people), cohabiting marriage — legally sanctioned if possible. In many cases, buying a house and having kids is also part of the goal. Partners are expected to remain together at the top of the escalator until death. The escalator is the standard by which most people gauge whether a developing intimate relationship is significant, "serious, "good, healthy, committed or worth pursuing or continuing. 1, record 1, English, - relationship%20escalator

To overcome the shortcomings of the QALY [quality-adjusted life year]... propose a measure which does not constrain the relationship between quality and quantity and claim that it truly reflects a person's preferences over quantity and quality of life while retaining the intuitive appeal of the concept of the year in full health.... it is more consistent with EUT [expected utility theory] and hence with individuals’ preferences. To distinguish it from the QALY they have named their new measure the healthy year equivalent(HYE). It involves the valuation of whole health profiles, which vary in terms of the sequence and duration of health states. This is a more general measure of preferences than the QALY since it makes fewer assumptions. 5, record 4, English, - healthy%2Dyear%20equivalent
