Publisher Description Economic analysis of the family is a recent, but already well-established area in economics. Economists have developed new methods to analyse decisions such as marriage, chilbearing, divorce and the use of family resources. The economic approach has become crucial for design and understanding in many policy areas of current interest in modern societies, such as family, tax, social security and gender equality policies. Economics of the Family and Family Policies bears evidence to the lively and relevant research in the area. The first part provides a clear picture of the state of the art of economics of the family as it relates to economic theory and economic modelling, examining the developments from common preference family models to the more recent co-operative or non co-operative bargaining models. The second part explores theoretical and empirical applications: the effect of the intrafamily distribution of income on family decisions; the interaction between marriage markets and labour markets; and the factors behind the rise of single parent final part of the book focuses on family policies and analyses tax, public child care and parental leave policies in terms of the incentives they create for labour supply, time allocation, human capital accumulation and the choice of how to organise child care. The empirical studies in this section are mainly drawn from the Nordic countries, renowned for their experience with family and gender equality policies. This volume will be an invaluable, up-to-date, one-stop resource for economists and those involved in the social sciences and gender studies, as well as policy makers themselves.
