Book excerpt: In this dissertation, I study how household's decisions about where to live vary across household structure and impact marriage and fertility decisions. The first chapter examines how married couples' migration decisions differentially impact men's and women's earnings and the role that policy can play in improving post-move outcomes for trailing spouses. I use a difference-in-differences methodology to show that access to unemployment insurance for trailing spouses increases the likelihood that households move by 2.3 p.p. and improves the post-move labor market outcomes of women. I then build and estimate a structural model of dual-earner couples' migration decisions to evaluate the effects of a series of counterfactual policies. I show that increasing the likelihood of joint distant offers substantively increases migration rates, increases women's post-move employment rates, and improves both men and women's earnings growth at the time of a move. The second chapter explores the role that joint geographic constraints play in dual-earner household migration decisions. I develop a measure of joint geographic constraints adapted from a pairwise occupational co-agglomeration index and demonstrate that being well-matched to one's spouse in terms of occupation clustering is positively associated with earnings for women and secondary earners. I show that higher values on the co-agglomeration index is associated with higher mobility rates for dual-earner households as well, consistent with the theory that occupational sorting impacts married couple's ability to overcome dual-earner migration frictions. The third chapter explores how distance to reproductive health care providers and policies that restrict access to abortion care impact women's fertility decisions. Between 2010 and 2017, Wisconsin passed three laws regulating abortion providers and two of five abortion clinics closed in Wisconsin, increasing the distance to the nearest clinic to 55 miles on average and to over 100 miles in the most affected counties. Leveraging closures of abortion clinics in Wisconsin, we show that a hundred-mile increase in distance to the nearest clinic is associated with 30.7 percent fewer abortions and 3.2 percent more births.

Download or read book The Economics of the Family written by Nancy Folbre and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 1996 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of previously published essays that highlights the historical dialogue between neoclassical and institutionalist approaches to the economics of the family. The volume is divided into eight sections: neoclassical perspectives; institutionalist and feminist perspectives; bargaining power models; fertility decline; intergenerational transfers; intra-household allocation; families and class inequality; and families and the state. The earliest of the 31 essays is Schultz's "An Economic Model of Family Planning and Fertility" (1969); the most recent is Folbre's "Children as Public Goods" (1994). No subject index.

Download or read book Economic Development the Family and Income Distribution written by Simon Kuznets and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-09-12 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of essays by Simon Kuznets, winner of the 1971 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, published posthumously. It represents the primary concerns of his research at a late phase of his career, as well as themes from his earlier work. The first four chapters deal with 'modern economic growth'. Chapters five to seven introduce the main theme of the remainder of the volume: interrelations between demographic change and income inequality. Chapters eight to ten draw on a wider set of data to make comparisons of income inequality among societies at widely different levels of development. Chapter eleven returns to data for the United States to develop more fully the importance of differing childbearing patterns for income inequality. In the introduction Professor Richard Easterlin discusses the relationship of the essays to the balance of Kuznets's writings. In the afterword Professor Robert Fogel discusses the methodologies favoured by Kuznets.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation considers questions about the economics of resources exhibiting spatial-dynamic transition processes, specifically, invasive species and wildfires. These topics are increasingly important due to their large damage potentials and the increasing management budgets by governments, but the economics literature has only recently begun to incorporate both space and time into its analysis. The three essays in this manuscript tackle problems using empirics and numerical modelling in order to continue to expand the economic understanding of spatial-dynamic processes. The first chapter empirically analyzes the decision of land developers to build single family homes near lakes invaded with Eurasian watermilfoil, an aquatic invasive plant. A duration model of land conversion is utilized to discover the change in likelihood that a single-family housing unit will be developed after the arrival of Eurasian watermilfoil. The results show a significant decrease in the likelihood that both lakefront and near lake properties will be developed into homes following a Eurasian watermilfoil invasion. This is shown to have a sizable impact on the number of houses constructed near invaded lakes and suggests that uninvaded lakes are most likely being overdeveloped. The second chapter develops a spatial-dynamic model of the optimal control of a general invasive species which is actively spreading throughout a landscape. Along with explicitly allowing the invasion to spread over space, this model permits the population to grow in intensity as well. It is discovered that optimal intensities of invasion vary over space and that ignoring the natural heterogeneity in the landscape leads to suboptimal management decisions. The inefficiency of these decision is shown to increase as the heterogeneity in ecological carrying capacity increases. The model is then applied to the Asian cap invasion in the Mississippi River basin and shows that the current strategy of preventing Asian carp from entering the Great Lakes may be optimal. Overall, this project showcases the importance of recognizing spatial heterogeneity in ecological carrying capacities along with delivering strong evidence that control efforts need to be spatially targeted to most efficiently manage a spreading invasive species. Finally, the third chapter considers the fact that some spatial-dynamic processes, like wildfires, spread at different rates across landscapes that contain a variety of economically valued patches. Spread rates effect the costs of management, while the values of different properties influence the damages associated with a burn. This chapter incorporates these complexities into a spatial-dynamic model of optimal wildfire management and finds efficient solutions for controlling multifaceted fire scenarios. Suppression of wildfires is shown to be more likely in areas where the economic values are spatially clustered, thereby allowing a minimum amount of control to have the maximum benefit. It is also shown that spatial location with respect to the initial ignition location is important in determining optimal control strategies in heterogeneous spread scenarios.
