New household economics

New household economics

New Household Economics (also known as NHE[1]) is an approach to the study of economic consumption centered on the household rather than the individual.[2] One of the originators of this concept was Gary Becker who theorized the concept in ""A Theory of the Allocation of Time" in "The Economic Journal" (Sept 1965, vol.75, no. 299. p. 493-517)[3]. It may be seen as a subfield of Family economics.
