Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three essays investigating household food purchase behaviors, focusing on modeling household binary purchase choices and expenditure decisions. The findings reveal factors that are influential on the formation of healthy and/or unhealthy dietary choices and provide insights for producers, retailers, and public health policymakers. The first essay proposes a new estimator for multivariate binary response data, a data feature of growing interest in the study of consumer behavior. This study considers binary responses as being generated from a truncated multivariate discrete distribution. The new estimator is shown to have attractive properties through Monto Carlo simulations and empirical applications. Comparisons are made to the traditional multivariate probit model. Because multivariate binary response modeling is frequently required in areas such as marketing, household behavior, crop selection, and conservation practices, among others, findings are of interest to both econometricians and practitioners. The second essay investigates the effects of demographic and socio-economic factors as well as outmigration, a special issue in Poland, on the consumption of tobacco and alcohol. This study takes advantage of second-hand survey data collected from a household panel by Poland's Main Statistical Office (GUS) that is not publicly available. Due to the addictive nature of tobacco and alcohol, this study uses a censored system to model the correlated consumption of tobacco and alcohol. Findings provide insights for the reduction and prevention of tobacco and alcohol use. The third essay provides a holistic profile of fresh produce choices and expenditures, including expenditure on fresh produce, frequency of purchase, variety of selection, and use of deals and coupons. A profile of consumers by consumer group was developed using 2014 Nielsen Homescan panel. This study intends to present a holistic picture of consumer disadvantage in terms of fresh produce consumption and take an all-inclusive approach so as to seek out commodities as well differences in fresh produce shopping behaviors across four consumer groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant recent changes in the structure and composition of households make the study of the economic relationships within the household of particular interest for academics and policy-makers. In this context, Household Economic Behaviors, through its focus on theoretical and empirical chapters on a range of economic behaviors within the household, provides a new and timely viewpoint. Following the Introduction and one or two surveys which give a general background, the volume includes theoretical and empirical perspectives on allocation of available time within the household, monetary and non-monetary transfers between household members, and intra-household bargaining.

Download or read book Household Behaviour Prices and Welfare written by Ranjan Ray and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-03 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays covers a diverse set of topics related to household behavior and welfare. Prices play a key role in several of the essays, particularly the distributional implications of price movements, and the effects of changes in relative prices on inequality and poverty. This book shows the shift in the literature on prices from being an exclusively macro topic featuring the study of inflation and cross-country comparisons to one that is firmly rooted in micro theory-based analysis of household behavior. It also includes recent developments in the poverty measurement literature, documenting the shift from the exclusively money metric and unidimensional poverty measures to multidimensional poverty encompassing a wider view of deprivation. Largely, but not exclusively, focusing on India, the book also features global comparisons of welfare. Intra country spatial comparisons along with cross country comparisons of household behavior and welfare feature in several of the essays in this book. The book also compares the effects of selected public delivery schemes in India on the health of its children. It is a useful resource for researchers and serves as reading material for advanced graduate courses on development in India and elsewhere.

Book excerpt: This dissertation contains three essays in applied microeconomics, with a focus on household decision-making.In the first chapter, I study the effect of asymmetric information about income on household decisions, resource sharing, and welfare. I proceed in four steps. In the first step, I develop a theoretical model that accounts for the possible existence of asymmetric information. The model predicts that households will partly mitigate the welfare cost of asymmetric information by incentivizing the wage earner to provide information about his or her true income. These incentives are provided by making the consumption share increase with reported income: the wage earner's consumption share is high when reporting a high income and low when reporting a low income. Second, I derive a new non-parametric identification result for this model. Third, I estimate the model using a survey of Bangladeshi day laborers. The estimation confirms the predictions of the model, providing evidence that the households in the data are affected by asymmetric information. Finally, I conduct three counterfactual analyses to document how asymmetric information interacts with policies and compute the willingness to pay in each case. In the second chapter, which is co-authored with Maria Casanova and Maurizio Mazzocco, we show that the intratemporal and intertemporal preferences of each decision-maker in the household can be identified even if individual consumption is not observed. This identification result is used jointly with the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CEX) to estimate the intratemporal and intertemporal features of individual preferences. The empirical findings indicate that there is heterogeneity in intertemporal preferences between wife and husband. In the third chapter, I use a major reform of the parental leave system in Quebec in 2006 to analyze how households make decisions related to parental leave. I show that the introduction of a father's quota - a policy designed to incentivize fathers to take parental leave - was successful in more than doubling the proportion of fathers taking some parental leave. However, the impact on the intensive margin was limited: in 80% of households, mothers take all the leave that is available to both parents. I also use an administrative dataset to analyze the relationship between parental leave decisions and income. In general, households with higher labor income take more parental leave overall (summing the mother's and the father's weeks). However, fathers with higher labor income take less parental leave.

Book excerpt: Mounting interest in men's family formation decisions and behaviors has paralleled the growing diversity of men's family experiences, which are increasingly stratified by socioeconomic status and racial group membership. Comprised of three self-contained empirical chapters, this dissertation considers men's economic circumstances broadly to further explore the interrelatedness of men's economic capacities and family experiences and its implications for black-white inequalities using data from three nationally-representative, longitudinal surveys. The first empirical chapter considers traditional economic indicators as antecedents of nonmarital first births in early adulthood and investigates whether racial group membership moderates the association between economic characteristics and the transition to fatherhood. Next, focusing on wealth - an aggregate measure of economic well-being that is the balance between what is owned and owed - the proportion of the black-white wealth gap attributed to differential participation in and respective returns from the institution of marriage are estimated. Lastly, the third empirical chapter examines race differences in resources available to unmarried fathers through family members and friends, providing an alternative account of the resource realities of unmarried fathers that work in tandem with traditional markers of economic well-being. Key findings suggest that men's economic capacities and family experiences remain strongly linked. Educational and employment-related characteristics influence the risk of having a nonmarital first birth for young black and white men, and the relationship between young, unmarried men's economic circumstances and the transition to fatherhood are generally comparable across race groups. Race difference in men's marital experiences - both in the incidence of marriage as well as in the associated returns - do contribute to black-white disparities in wealth ownership, with marriage not being equally beneficial to both race groups. Furthermore, black and white unmarried fathers have differential resources available through personal networks, and labor market connectedness (earnings and hours worked) and family formation behaviors (number of biological children, non-resident status, and multi-partner fertility) account for some - but not all - of the racial inequality in perceived social support. Taken together, this project sheds new light on the economic underpinnings of men's family experiences and extends our knowledge of the growing stratification of men's family experiences.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public policy plays a vital role in almost every sector of the modern society. In particular, economic policies and regulations affect the decision-making process of market participants either directly or indirectly. The design and reform of economic policies often have intended or unintended micro-level consequences, affecting the welfare of ordinary households and the development of local communities. This dissertation investigates such policy-induced effects on three particular matters, with evidence from both China and the United States. In the context of China, reforms on the land tenure system and the household registration (hukou) system affect the land and labor allocation within rural households, resulting in changes to their economic welfare. On the other hand, in the U.S. context, the disbursement schedule of monthly food stamp benefits is directly linked to the consumption pattern of recipient households, which in turn affects the prevalence and severity of food security in the local communities. As such, a seemingly minor change in the timing of welfare payment can potentially lead to significant changes in the observed incidence of crime and violent conduct. Based on all the empirical findings, I discuss related policy implications accordingly in either context.
