The emphasis in late years has moved from production to that of home management and childcare .The wise selection of goods,sound child care procedures, and the importance of good inter-personal relationships in the home take precedence over cooking and sewing. Education for personal, home, and family living isan important aspect of the total educational program in Ohio. Home Economics is the only part of the schoolprogram that has this area of study as its primary responsibility.Home Economics should be directed toward strengthening the home in its role in the education of youth, contributing to the personal development of individuals, and helping pupils become competent homemakers and responsible citizens. This bulletin should serve as a valuable guide to teachers and administrators in planning and carrying out effective high school programs of homemaking education. Byrl R.Shoemaker, Director Vocational Education State Dept.of Education 111 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Vocational Home Economics Guide for Homemaking is to provide a vital program of education which has as its major goal the development of our young people into homemakers and family members.The major outcomes of the program in homemaking must be the improvement and strengthening of home and family living. The committee whose concentrated efforts have produced this guide has con- stantly drawn upon research, experimentation, and demonstration by leaders in the various subject areas.The participation of subject matter specialists, teacher educators, state supervisors, and many homemaking teachers has been indicative of the effectiveness of professional cooperation. This Curriculum Guide for Homemaking in Ohio contains a list of goals toward which the home economics program in the secondary schools is directed. The Curriculum Guide also contains the suggested scope and sequence of units of work for each grade level. The scope and sequenceas outlined was planned so that it could be adjusted to a variety of types of programs without duplication of subject matter.Also included are resource units for the various subject matterareas and other materials that should help teachers plan objectives and learning experiences for the year and the specific units. Since the resource units were developed at differ nt summer workshops, there are some variations in the structure, especially in the listing of resource materials. In the resource units, many activities are suggested. However, the teachers should select only those experiences or activities that can best be used in their particular situation or need. If no home economics is offered in the seventh or eighth grade, the teacher should develop units in each area at the ninth grade level by drawing from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade resource units. Vocational Home Economics now has two main purposes: a.The original Smith-Hughes Act provided for training for homemaking which is now interpreted as useful employment of the homemaker in her home. b.. The Vocational Act of 1963 expanded the scope of Vocational Home Economics to include training directed toward gainful employment in wage earning occupations. This Curriculum Guidewas prepared mainly to assistteachers in developing the homemakingprograms. Throughout the guide referencesare made to occupa- tional opportunities using home economics knowledge andskills. Additional resource units and materials are being developedfor specific homeeconomics job training programs that are directed toward gainful employment.

  • Marriage, Theories Of" Entry for the Elgar Companion to Feminist Economics Edited by Meg Lewis and Janice Peterson
    "Marriage, theories of" Entry for the Elgar Companion to Feminist Economics edited by Meg Lewis and Janice Peterson. Aldershot, U.K: Edward Elgar, forthcoming. Economists who perform empirical studies on labor supply, consumption, and a few other topics typically take account of marital status. However, few economists have written theories of marriage or used a theoretical approach to marriage in their empirical studies. This underemphasis on theory stands in sharp contrast to the preference for theoretical analysis which characterizes economics in general. Given the small number of economic theories of marriage, and their relatively young age, it is not surprising that there is no economic theory of marriage which is as widely accepted as the prevailing economic theory of the firm. There are three kinds of economic theories of marriage: marxist theories, neo-classical theories, and game theories. Economics is about processes of production, allocation of resources, and distribution of goods and services. Three major institutions which regulate and govern these processes are families, firms, and governments. Families govern production and distribution within households (intra-household allocation), whereas firms and governments deal with inter- household allocation of resources. Ignoring subtle legal definitions of marriage, the study of marriage includes (1) the study of the formation and dissolution of couples, which are two major ways by which families are formed, and (2) the study of economic decisions by married households, especially decisions related to marriage market conditions and marital institutions. Parallel areas of study in business economics include formation of firms and labor relations. Theories of the firm and labor theories have attracted much more talent and attention than theories of marriage.

This is a writing-intensive seminar course, in which we will use economic theory and empirical methods to study the family. Topics will include economic models of the household; the determinants of marriage and fertility; how marriage, fertility, and family structure are related to other outcomes (including education, wages, inequality, and labor force participation); and public policies that affect the family and family formation. Students will learn to read, evaluate, and conduct empirical economic research. The course will have two main components. First, we will be reading academic journal articles in the area of the economics of the family. The goal is to learn what economists currently know and think about this topic, with an emphasis on empirical work. We will discuss the methods and findings of the papers, and identify their strengths and weaknesses. Second, you will develop an empirical project that addresses an original research question. This will involve descriptive data work, regression analysis, and advanced econometric techniques as appropriate. The goal is to do a thorough analysis that addresses issues of data quality, sample selection, and causality. We will rely heavily on material from econometrics (EC 30331) and will use the statistical software package Stata.

  • Family Planning and Climate Change
    Family Planning and Climate Change Reyer Gerlagh* Veronica Lupi Marzio Galeotti * February 18, 2019 The most recent version of our paper can be found here: www.dropbox.com/s/3djwfexr9zaexuh/GLG 2018.pdf?dl=0 Abstract Historical data show that the increase in emissions is for only one-fourth attributable to the growth of emissions per person, whereas three-fourths are due to the growth of pop- ulation. This striking evidence notwithstanding, the majority of climate-economic studies focus on emissions through the lens of energy externalities in production and consump- tion activities, and on policies to correct these. Population dynamics in those models is typically taken to follow exogenous trends. Yet population growth is a key component of projections of future emissions. Population is expected to rise to around 9.8 billion by 2050, and climate economists must include the environmental consequences of individu- als' reproductive decisions into their analyses. In this paper, we study the interactions between climate change and population dynamics. We develop an analytical model of endogenous fertility and embed it in a calibrated climate-economy model. The social op- timum can be implemented through carbon pricing policies and policies aiming at smaller families. Population without family planning policies peaks at 12 billion, while optimal family planning brings the peak back to 9 billion. If family planning cannot be addressed as a separate policy instrument for climate policies, carbon taxes need to be lowered. Our results present family planning as an integral part of climate policies and quantify the costs of neglecting the interaction. Keywords: fertility; climate change; population; carbon tax; family planning; climate- economy models.

I put \economic" in scare quotes because we will take as our point of departure a particular economic approach: the rational choice approach pio- neered by Gary Becker in his Treatise on the Family and related work. We will examine the assumptions underlying rational choice models of family behavior, assess the plausibility of those assumptions, and discuss whether and to what extent rational choice models can help us understand the form and function- ing of families. We will also examine critiques of the economic approach from feminist, sociological, and other perspectives. You may already have an opinion about rational choice models in general, the application of rational choice mod- els to the family in particular, or Gary Becker. By the end of the semester, you may or may not have changed your opinion, but you will be a more nuanced and sophisticated fan or critic than many commentators on the family. Family economics is a fascinating field because it touches on issues with which we all have personal experience and because it provides theoretical and empirical insight into current controversies over modern families.

  • Household Economics III
    UNIVERSITÄT HOHENHEIM INSTITUT FÜR HAUSHALTS- UND KONSUMÖKONOMIK Lehrstuhl Haushalts- und Konsumökonomik sowie Genderökonomik Alfonso Sousa-Poza Household Economics III WS 07/08 Course Syllabus Goals This course builds-up on Consumer and Household Economics I and II by taking a more in-depth look at the topics discussed in previous semesters. The course is composed of two parts: the first part of the course will take an in-depth look at household dynamics with special emphasis being placed on the consumption and savings decision, intergenerational financial transfers, skill acquisition, fertility issues, and the allocation of time over the lifecycle. This part of the course will be based on William A. Lord’s “Household Dynamics: Economic Growth and Policy”; Oxford University Press (2002). The second part of the course will focus on original journal contributions, both theoretical and empirical, that deal with the allocation of resources and time, resource allocation within households, and marriage, divorce and fertility. The aim of this second part is to enhance students’ ability to understand original journal articles and position them in the appropriate theoretical framework. Stated somewhat differently: to move beyond well-prepared textbooks and into the realm of (often) condensed, complex, and specific research. Course Requirements The course will follow a lecture format. Students are expected to participate in the lectures by asking questions or providing additional insights into the literature. While you will not be formally graded on your classroom participation, I cannot overemphasize the importance of asking questions and probing new idea as an essential mode of learning. I expect students to read these papers.

  • Unpaid Labor and the Critique of Political Economy in Home Economics and New Household Economics: from the Feminist Economics Perspective
    Series: Women and Economics〈 2〉 Unpaid Labor and the Critique of Political Economy in Home Economics and New Household Economics: From the Feminist Economics Perspective Nobuko Hara Abstract: This paper investigates the relationship between home economics and new household eco- nomics. In particular, I consider what is “new” in new household economics from the feminist economics perspective. Home economics was established in the 1920s and 1930s by Hazel Kyrk, Margaret Reid, and Elizabeth Hoyt, while new household economics was established in the 1960s by Jacob Mincer, Theodore Schultz, and Gary Becker. Before the 1960s, main- stream economics concentrated on production for the market. Later, the mainstream economi- cs of the family culminated in Becker’s new household economics. The family, within which unpaid labor is carried out mostly by women, again became an important topic in feminist economics in the 1990s. In this paper, I focus on the theoretical meaning of unpaid labor in these two Chicago schools, home economics and new household economics. I insist that new household economics is not “new” in terms of its approach and method. Rather, its novelty is in the domain of the application of standard microeconomics to the household. I firstly ex- plore the feminist economics perspective. Secondly, I discuss the theoretical meaning of the analysis of unpaid labor in home economics. Thirdly, I examine new household economics from the methodological point of view and policy implications. I then conclude by discussing the relationship between these two Chicago schools. JEL classification numbers: B00, B41, B54. I Introduction: Feminist Economics Perspective An analysis of the family organization and unpaid household labor, particularly care labor, has always been a critical issue in feminist economics.1 In this sec- tion, I clarify the viewpoint of this article.

Davis and Robert McMaster Working Paper 2019-02 College of Business Administration Forthcoming in European Journal of the History of Economic Thought A road not taken? A brief history of care in economic thought1 John B Davis* and Robert McMaster** *Amsterdam School of Economics, University of Amsterdam, PO Box 15867, 1001 NJ Amsterdam, and Department of Economics, Marquette University, PO Box 1881, Milwaukee, WI 53201-1881 E-mail: [email protected] **Adam Smith Business School, University of Glasgow, University Avenue, Glasgow G12 8QQ. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Care is central to the human experience and part of the social provisioning process. Adam Smith recogniZed this, associating care with sympathy. Later contributions in the political economy tradition also provide scope for an analysis of care, but none as developed as Smith’s. With the emergence of the current mainstream, care is marginaliZed. Kenneth Boulding’s analysis provides an opportunity to interrogate care in the economy, but he fails to explicitly acknowledge care. It is left to feminist economics to highlight the centrality of care. An implication is that it challenges the conventional rubric of economic organization predicated on self-interest.

Olin Discussion Paper Series: http://www.law.harvard.edu/programs/olin_center/ The Social Science Research Network Electronic Paper Collection: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1551470 On the Taxation of Private Transfers Louis Kaplow* Abstract This essay considers the appropriate conceptual framework for assessing the taxation of private transfers to individuals. Although it is conventional to emphasize the role of estate and gift taxation or inheritance taxation in redistributing income from the rich to the poor, the revenue effects of transfer taxation, and its distortionary effect on labor supply and savings, it is suggested in line with some recent work that the dominant focus should be on positive and negative externalities attributable to giving. The fundamental reason is that transfer tax reform can be combined with adjustments to other aspects of the fiscal system, notably the income tax, so as to keep constant most effects other than externalities.
