Household as an Economic Unit (Chapter 3)
• There are two Individuals: Chris & Pat
1. Chris has absolute advantage in market work if in given amount of time he/she can earn more income than Pat.
2. Chris has absolute advantage in home work if in a given amount of time he/she can produce higher valued home work than Pat.
![Page 4: Welcome to Econ 325 Economics of Gender Week 2 Beginning January 29.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ec95503460f94bd7407/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Who has absolute advantage in market work?
• Pat earns $20/hour at his/her job.
• Chris earns $25/hour at his/her job.
![Page 5: Welcome to Econ 325 Economics of Gender Week 2 Beginning January 29.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ec95503460f94bd7407/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Comparative Advantage
• If Pat’s opportunity cost of producing one dollar worth of homemade good is lower than that of Chris’s, Pat has comparative advantage in home work.
![Page 6: Welcome to Econ 325 Economics of Gender Week 2 Beginning January 29.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ec95503460f94bd7407/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Who has comparative advantage in home work?
• For every dollar of home good he/she produces Pat has to give up $5 earned income
• For every dollar of home good he/she produces Chris has to give up $3 earned income

Discuss ICA3
• Notes1. Just because one has absolute advantage
it does not mean that he also has comparative advantage.
2. When there are 2 individuals and 2 tasks• It is possible for one individual to have absolute
advantage in both tasks • It is not possible for one individual to have
comparative advantage in both tasks.• If one has comparative advantage in on task,
the other person will have comparative advantage in the second task

Discuss ICA33.
income Value of home good
Total value
Pat $400 $200 $600
Chris $300 $300 $600
Total value
$700 $500 $1200

Discuss ICA3
4. Pat should work outside home and Chris should work at home (based on comparative advantage)• Pat will make $800 income in 40
hours• Chris will produce $600 of home good
in 40 hours
![Page 14: Welcome to Econ 325 Economics of Gender Week 2 Beginning January 29.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ec95503460f94bd7407/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Discuss ICA35. The terms of trade depends on opportunity cost• Opp. cost of $1 of home good
• For Pat = $2 of income• For Chris = $1 of income
• Chris would want to trade $1 of home good for more than $1 of income. Why?
• Pat would want to receive more than $1 worth of home good for $2 of income. Why?
• The range of mutually beneficial trade• $2 income > $1 home good > $1 income
• $1.5 income for $ 1 of home good is good, or• $1.75 income for $1 of home good is good• Or any multiple of these terms is good too.
• How about $75 income for $50 of home good?

Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF, Appendix of Chapter 3)• An individual’s PPF shows different
combinations of market good (earned income) and home good the individual can produce efficiently in a given period of time.
• Pat & Chris’s PPF• Slope
• What does it measure?
• Unattainable points• Shifts
![Page 17: Welcome to Econ 325 Economics of Gender Week 2 Beginning January 29.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ec95503460f94bd7407/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Derivation of the household PPF• Pat and Chris form a household• What is the value of market good at the
vertical intercept?• Starting at the point where both
individuals work full time (the vertical intercept), who is more likely to reduce his/her hours of work at his/her job to produce one unit of home good?
• Horizontal intercept
![Page 18: Welcome to Econ 325 Economics of Gender Week 2 Beginning January 29.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ec95503460f94bd7407/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Friday, February 2
• Paper topic is due February 16• Need at least 2 resources, one of
which will be where you will get your numbers from
• Exam 1 February 12• Study Chapters 1- 3• Study Article 1• Expect ICA/OCA on Monday
![Page 19: Welcome to Econ 325 Economics of Gender Week 2 Beginning January 29.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ec95503460f94bd7407/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Gains of household formation• Individual PPFs/ household PPF• Household per capita PPF• Is this per capita PPF better than
the individual PPFs? Why?• Some points that were
unattainable before become attainable
![Page 20: Welcome to Econ 325 Economics of Gender Week 2 Beginning January 29.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ec95503460f94bd7407/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What if both individual had the same PPF?
• Who has comparative advantage in home good? Market good?
• How would the per capita household PPF look?
• No gains from forming a household• The more different the PPFs ==>
the higher the comparative advantage ==> the higher the gains of household formation
![Page 21: Welcome to Econ 325 Economics of Gender Week 2 Beginning January 29.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ec95503460f94bd7407/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Suppose Pat and Chris form a household
• How are they going to allocate their time between production of market good and home good?
• Where are they going to be on their household PPF?
![Page 22: Welcome to Econ 325 Economics of Gender Week 2 Beginning January 29.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ec95503460f94bd7407/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
A household’s indifference curve
• Shows different combinations of home good and market good that equally satisfy the household
• Example• Slope• Why is the slope declining?• Higher/lower satisfaction• A households indifference curves
can’t intersect. Why?
