The Valuation of Household Production: Divorce, Wrongful Injury and Death Litigation

Author

Listed:
  • Charles C. Fischer

Abstract

. An important subject, that of placing an economic value on household production for divorce, wrongful injury and death litigation, is examined. Both theory and practice are explored, with emphasis given to the latter. National questionnaire data obtained by the author suggest that forensic economists generally take a conservative, perhaps overly narrow, approach in valuing household production. Possible reasons for this, implications, and future directions in forensic practice are discussed
