Review of Economics of the Household

Aims & Scope

The Review of Economics of the Household publishes high-quality empirical and theoretical research on the economic behavior and decision-making processes of single and multi-person households.

The Review is not wedded to any particular models or methods.

It welcomes both macro-economic and micro-level applications.

Household decisions analyzed in this journal include · household production of human capital, health, nutrition/food, childcare, and eldercare, · well-being of persons living in households, issues of gender and power, · fertility and risky behaviors, · consumption, savings and wealth accumulation, · labor force participation andtime use, · household formation (including marriage, cohabitation and fertility) and dissolution, · migration, intergenerational transfers, · experiments involving households, · religiosity and civility.

The journal is particularly interested in policy-relevant economic analyses and equally interested in applications to countries at various levels of economic development.

The Perspectives section covers articles on the history of economic thought and review articles.
