The WIHO Model: Tying Together Applications of Household Economics
Shoshana Grossbard (born October 23, 1948; also known as Shoshana Grossbard-Shechtman, Amyra Grossbard-Shechtman, and Amyra Grossbard) is a professor of economics at San Diego State University. Since 2007 she has also been a research fellow at the Institute for the Study of Labor. Grossbard founded the Review of Economics of the Household in 2001 and remains its editor in chief. The main focus of her research is household economics, family economics and economics of marriage. A student of Gary Becker at the University of Chicago, she was one of the first economists to enter this research area. Also influenced by the other founder of the New Home Economics, Jacob Mincer, and by James Heckman, another of her Chicago Professors who has made major contributions to the field, she is actively promoting the establishment of household economics as a separate specialty in economics. She is one of the first social scientists to have analyzed consequences of gender imbalance in sex ratio for intra-household distribution, labor supply, fertility and cohabitation. She has shown that variation in sex ratio over time is inversely related to married women's labor supply in the U.S. She tweets as @econoflove.
