Polygamy is neither a cause nor result of inequalities. The context of polyamorous relationships can be (and almost certainly is) effected by class relationships and the cultural norms and conformities that structure around such social arrangements, but polygamy by and large is a pretty harmless thing in my opinion. I probably wouldn't engage in such a relationship, but that is simply due to personal preference.
Conducting such a test would be meaningless given the current circumstances of society. Lets use a much more egalitarian model than what we have now, THEN conduct the test. Of course right now it is bound to fail, but that isn't because of polygamy itself, but rather because of the cultural hegemony and chauvinism that is structured around capitalist social relations.
