Home Economics: Family Matters

Matthew Holian

Chapter Chapter 5 in Data and the American Dream, 2021, pp 89-106 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter describes studies of marriage and family. There is understandably a great deal of interest in these topics among many of my 20-year-old students. Family issues are deeply connected with economic questions addressed in earlier chapters, including migration, labor supply, and entrepreneurship. We’ll see how the ACS can be used to describe the rise of the gig economy, the difficulty of studying the causal effect of children on a family’s outcomes, and a possible way to measure the causal effect of the business cycle on fertility.
