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.
