“…Less is known about the relationship between maternal employment and own or child health (Baum 2005;Del Bono, Ermisch, and Francesconi 2008). However, Gelber and Mitchell (2011) find that the EITC leads to an increase in market time and a reduction in leisure, but no change in time spent with children. These employment effects may bring with them changes in infant health.…”

“…The main argumentation underpinning this corollary is that an increase in income forces one to consume a higher quality of market goods requiring less time use (Gelber and Mitchell, 2012) . The idea is that the new needs indexed on the household level of well-being change with income (Gardes and Merigan, 2008) .…”

Physiconomics for the identification of relativistic satisfaction Abstract Recent developments in identifying economic and social phenomena within the theory and laws of physics do not provide a sufficient basis of information for economists. In this article, an interdisciplinary analysis in microeconomics, is proposed to overcome this limit by establishing a new economic theory in the way of better analyzing economic problems from the methodological perspectives of physics. This new theoretical approach is tested on a model using individual time use values that identifies how life satisfaction may be defined through economic utility so as to better investigate the income-happiness paradox as pointed out by Easterlin. The theoretical analysis point out that an increase in happiness would depend on the ability to replace subsidiaries with conspicuous consumption so long as they have common characteristics that satisfy the same needs. This consumption pattern implies that consumers would draw more satisfaction from less usage of conspicuous goods than from higher usage of subsidiaries, under given budget and time constraints.

“…16 We divide parents into two wage categories (P 1 and P 2 ) and divide children into two test score categories (C 1 and C 2 ). Each category comprises one-half of the distribution of wages or test scores, respectively.…”

“…Second, conditional on lagged child ability, lagged changes in income have no e¤ect on current income. 16 Of course, a well-known limitation of linear probability models is that they may predict probabilities outside of the range [0,1]. We consider estimation of consistent e¤ects to be the more important consideration, and thus we estimate a linear probability model rather than a logit or probit.…”

Empirical research suggests that parents'economic resources a¤ect their children's future earnings abilities. Optimal tax policy therefore will treat future ability distributions as endogenous to current taxes. We model this endogeneity, calibrate the model to match estimates of the intergenerational transmission of earnings ability in the United States, and use the model to simulate optimal policy numerically. Optimal policy is more redistributive toward low-income parents than existing U.S. tax policy. The optimal policy increases the probability that low-income children move up the economic ladder, generating a present-value welfare gain of 1.28% of consumption in our baseline case.
