He has published several studies of gift giving, including a 2003 paper [cite journal |title=An evolutionary psychology perspective on gift giving among young adults |author=Gad Saad, Tripat Gill |journal=Psychology and Marketing |volume=20 |issue=9 |pages=765–784 |year=2003 |url=http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/abstract/104552658/ABSTRACT?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0 |doi=10.1002/mar.10096] that found that men more often than women report giving gifts to romantic partners for tactical reasons (for example, to flaunt wealth or to seduce).
