Those not learned in the economic arts believe that economics is
either solely or essentially concerned with commercial relations.
And, so it was, originally. Then, in the second half of the 20th
century, economists began applying their minimalist but sturdy
tools to other human activities such as marriage, child-bearing,
crime, religion and social groups. In this spirit, the Research
Handbook on the Economics of Family Law gives us a series of
original essays by distinguished scholars in economics, law or
both. The essays represent a variety of approaches to the field.
Many contain extensive surveys of the literature with respect to
the particular question they address. Some employ empirical
economics, others are more narrowly legal. They have in common one
thing: each scholar employs a core economic tool or insight to shed
light on some aspect of family law and social institutions broadly
understood. Topics covered include: divorce, child support, infant
feeding, abortion access, prostitution, the decline in marriage,
birth control and incentives for partnering. This comprehensive and
enlightening volume will be a valuable reference for those
interested in law and economics generally and family law in
particular. Contributors: D.W. Allen, L.R. Cohen, S. Cunningham, K.
