Did the legalization of abortion increase women’s household bargaining power? Evidence from labor supply 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Sonia Oreffice 《Review of Economics of the Household》2007,5(2):181-207
I estimate the impact of abortion legalization on spouses’ labor supplies to test whether legalization increased women’s household
bargaining power, in a collective household behavior framework. Based on CPS data, I find that wives’ labor supply decreased
and their husbands’ increased, which is consistent with the bargaining hypothesis. This contrasts with most studies of abortion
and birth control technologies, which predict a labor supply effect only for women, and of opposite sign. Also consistent
with the bargaining interpretation, I estimate no significant impact on anti-abortion religious couples or on those who regularly
used contraceptives. PSID data yield supportive evidence.

We study the general class of two-player public-policy contests and specify the asymmetry condition under which a more restrained government intervention that reduces the contestants’ prizes has the “perverse” effect of increasing their aggregate lobbying efforts.

This paper examines the interactions between spouses’ decisions to join the labor force. We use the asymptotic least squares
method in order to estimate a system of equations with limited dependent variables. We find that when spouse’s decision-making
is modeled as simultaneous, this affects primarily the man’s participation equation who appears to be positively influenced
by whether the woman works or not, by the number of children and by the birth of a child. The woman’s decision to participate
is not affected by whether the man participates or not and depends negatively of the number of children and the birth of a
child. This implies that there is a female leadership in decisions to participate in the labor market and that the added-worker
effect should be reinterpreted as a function of demography rather than unemployment.

The theoretical and empirical literature on parental investment focuses on whether child-specific parental investments reinforce
or compensate for a child’s initial endowments. However, many parental investments, such as neighborhood quality and family
size and structure, are shared wholly or in part among all children in a household. The empirical results of this paper imply
that such household parental investments compensate for low endowments, as proxied by low birth weight.

Collective and Unitary Models: A Clarification 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Martin Browning Pierre-André Chiappori Valérie Lechene 《Review of Economics of the Household》2006,4(1):5-14
In this note we identify and clarify a confusion that has arisen in the literature about the exact relationship between unitary
and collective models and what enters the Pareto weight and the sharing function. We suggest that we should denote as ‘unitary’
any model that leads to outcomes that satisfy the Slutsky conditions whether or not these outcomes depend on distribution
factors. In particular, income pooling is neither necessary nor sufficient for a unitary model. We also show that the presence
of prices or total expenditure in the sharing rule cannot be used as a test for a unitary model.

Evidence of the Effectiveness of Child Support and Visitation: Examining Food Insecurity among Children with Nonresident Fathers 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Over six million children who reside with a single mother and have a father who lives elsewhere are food insecure. This study
examines the effectiveness of two aspects of nonresident father involvement, in-person visitation and financial contributions,
in reducing food acquisition problems using data from the National Survey of America’s Families. We find that frequent visits
by nonresident fathers are related to a reduced likelihood that the resident mother’s household will experience indicators
of food insecurity. The effects of child support receipt on reducing food acquisition problems, however, are less consistent.
Our results support policies designed to recognize and encourage nonresidential parents to make both monetary and nonmonetary
contributions to the lives of their children.

This paper explores the concept of adult attachment. Although attachment theory is now getting a great deal of attention,
there is not yet a clear picture of what it means to be attached in adulthood or what the clinical applications of the approach
might be. Using Bowlby’s distinctive ethological-evolutionary framework and updating it with findings from neurobiology and
attachment research, it is proposed there is an attachment behavioral system that operates throughout the lives of adults
and that this changes the way we understand our clients’ distress and carry out psychotherapy.

Using data drawn from the Current Population Surveys, this paper provides a consistent explanation for why the presence of
a working wife reduces the husband’s wage among managers, but increases the husband’s wage among non-managers. It is not husband’s
occupation per se but rather the distribution of husbands’ wage levels that underlies the working spouse penalty or premium.
Positive correlations in earnings between married couples that arise from assortative mating make the cross-wage effects of
the husbands’ wages on the wives’ hours of work first positive, then negative in cross-sectional data. The phenomenon of a
working spouse penalty/premium is simply the flip side of this relationship.

Married Couples’ Time Allocation Decisions and Marital Stability 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), 1985–1992, are the data used to simultaneously examine the role of family stability
to both market and household time allocation for both spouses and the role of couples’ time allocation in their probability
of divorce. The study found that increases in the probabilities of divorce were only significantly correlated with decreases
in wife’s housework time. It was also found by the study that increases in the husband’s market work hours and increases in
the wife’s household work hours had negative effects on the probability of divorce.

Discussions about the role of paid employment in high school students’ lives usually involve untested assumptions about historical trends in the frequency, intensity, and selective nature of students’ employment behaviors. Using several nationally representative data sources, we find few changes in rates of employment or hours worked per week among adolescents since 1940 or among students since 1980. We observe important changes in recent decades in racial/ethnic and gender differences in employment and intensive employment. Finally, we observe that the relationship between students’ intensive employment and high school completion has been stable and persistently significant since the late 1960s.

This paper first identifies the determinants of spouses’ satisfaction levels within the household with respect to their leisure
time and, secondly, characterizes whether their preferences have some degree of altruistic or egoistic character in regard
to this particular satisfaction. To that end, it formulates a theoretical framework from the collective family model whose
stochastic formulations are estimated for 14 EU countries. The general empirical results first reveal that the presence of
children has a significantly negative impact on the leisure satisfaction of both spouses. Then, increases in individual incomes
lead to lower own leisure satisfaction levels. Both husbands and wives show egoistic behavior with respect to the labor and
non-labor incomes (wage rate) of their respective spouses’ satisfaction levels.

This paper provides insight into the wage gap between lesbians and heterosexual women. Using data from the 2000 Decennial
Census, we find a lesbian premium that equals approximately 10% for women without a bachelor’s degree, and is nearly non-existent
for women with higher levels of education. These findings are consistent with proposition that the gap between lesbians’ and
heterosexual women’s commitment to the labor market narrows at higher levels of education. We also find that controls for
industry and occupation exert only a small effect on the gap between lesbian and heterosexual women’s wages.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has not traditionally utilized “use of self” to describe the clinician’s role in counseling
but much attention has been given to the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the components necessary and appropriate
for a strong working alliance. The CBT approach is discussed within the framework of previously articulated five uses of selves.
A case example is presented.

This study based on a sample of 429 Beijing high school students shows that Chinese urban adolescents’ purchasing involvement
can be predicted by the adolescents’ self-esteem. Individuals’ self-evaluation motivates them to get involved in family purchasing
activities. This study suggests that Chinese consumer involvement is potentially shaped by both cognitive factors (e.g., self-esteem)
and social factors (e.g., media use). However, the study indicates that exposure to American mass media does not have significant
impact on adolescents’ family purchasing involvement. This finding raises possibilities for further investigation in the area.
Limitations and suggestions for future studies are provided.

Saving for Children’s College Education: An Empirical Analysis of the Trade-off Between the Quality and Quantity of Children 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0

This paper examines the effect of children’s college expenses on household savings. The theoretical model introduces life-cycle
savings into the quality–quantity model of fertility and derives predictions for the impact of expected expenses on parents’
savings. Using the actual amount of parents’ financial support reported in the Survey of Consumer Finances, the empirical
model estimates the expected expenditures on children’s college education and investigates the effect of expected expenditures
on parents’ savings. The results show that parents’ support for each of their children’s college expenses decreases with the
number of children. The results are consistent with the predictions of the life-cycle theory of saving and consumption that
households save in advance for expected expenses to smooth their consumption.

We examine older Americans’ choice of vehicle types and the impact of age and health status on this choice. Using the 1998 and 2000 Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and the 2001 HRS Consumption and Activities Mail Survey (CAMS), we estimate a multinomial logit model of older Americans’ choice of vehicle types. We find that both age and health status influence the type of vehicle purchased or leased. Compared to Americans aged 50–59, those aged 70 or older prefer passenger cars to trucks and sport utility vehicles (SUVs). We also find that elders with health problems are more likely to prefer SUVs to passenger cars than those without health problems.

This paper expands on the ideas presented by Barth’s article on hidden eating disorders. The topic of eating disorders continues
to be an important focus of clinical work. Applying constructs related to the experience of shame, I explore the way that
feelings of shame may impact an exploration of eating disorders by the patient and clinician.

The inverse plurality rule—an axiomatization 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Under the ‘inverse plurality rule’, voters specify only their least preferred alternative. Our first result establishes that
this rule is the only scoring rule that satisfies the minimal veto condition (MV). We then prove that the inverse plurality
rule is characterized by MV and the four well known conditions that characterize scoring rules; namely, Anonymity (A), Neutrality
(N), Reinforcement (RE) and Continuity (CO). Our new characterization result is related to the characterizations of approval
voting and of the widely used plurality rule. We finally show how the axiomatization of the inverse plurality rule can be
extended to the axiomatization of elementary scoring rules (vote for t-alternatives scoring rules).
We are indebted to two anonymous referees for their most useful comments.

This article analyzes the critical obstacles in the path of labor law reform during the 1990s. It stresses the importance
of the lukewarm support of the Clinton Administration for labor law reform, organized labor’s failure to frame the debate
on labor law reform to its advantage and its inability to convince key Senators to support its reform agenda, and, especially,
the determined opposition to reform of employer groups and their allies in Congress. The article concludes with a brief discussion
of the lessons of the legislative defeats of the 1990s for the AFL-CIO’s current campaign to revise the National Labor Relations
Act.

The growth strategies of the listed exchanges affect the morphology of the securities industry as they are focused on the
consolidation of trading infrastructures and, on the other hand, on the diversification of the business model. New “conglomeral
exchanges” are characterized by a far-reaching production function. Since they integrate product-service lines which are complementary,
they potentially herald competitive distorsions limiting the investor’s freedom of choice and prejudicing the interest for
the best result from the investment.
