The household decision making approach has been followed to understand many economic and non-economic decisions of individuals who are members of a family. Using strong economic theories, rich data and powerful microeconometric methods, this book demonstrates the household decision making processes with respect to demand for children, labour market behaviour, discrimination, education, empowerment, bargaining, efficiency, risk and vulnerability and other non-market activities. It has been shown in this book that the household decisions are rational and have strong cost-benefit calculations and are based on utility gains. The theoretical and empirical results presented in this book demonstrate that the economic approach is a comprehensive one that is applicable to all human behaviour, be it behaviour involving money or emotions, rational or irrational, political or sociological, market or non-market, single or multiple decisions and by single or multiple decision makers. Some macroeconomic issues on banking efficiency and public debt management are also analysed. The book also demonstrates the applicability of many applied microeconometric methods for the quantitative analysis of human decisions. The book is intended to be a reference material for the quantitative analysis of the human decision making process. (jacket). N� de r�f. du vendeur 116218
