Family Economy of 19th-Century Industrial Workers

Family Economy of 19th-Century Industrial Workers

This set of assignments leads students through the steps of identifying a research question and designing an empirical analysis. Students use a large collection of late 19th-century family budgets from the U.S. and Europe, which lend themselves to questions about consumer decisions and the labor-force participation of women and children.
