Jasso and Rosenzweig trace the factors that influence the immigrants' adjustment and achievements in a broad area of concerns learning English, finding work, and raising a family. They devote special attention to family relationships and to the factors determining where immigrants choose to settle. They also look at how the foreign-born population has changed over time and the policy choices that affect its composition. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

My work has principally been concerned with obtaining a better understanding of household decision-making in a variety of economic settings, with particular attention to the allocation of time and the formation of human capital. My initial work examined the empirical and theoretical foundations of rural employment and wage determination, which forms the underpinnings of most macro development models. Data on labour supply behaviour and rural wages in developing countries, evidently not used by development theorists, were exploited to test various pervasive assumptions in the development literature.
The ‘trade-offs’ between fertility and the supply of time by women to the market and the investment of resources in children were the foci of another set of papers. These were concerned with illuminating the meaning of such trade-offs when all three variables are decision variables and with testing propositions about their interrelationship and their relevance to various development and educational policies. This led to work on estimating the technology of household production, on the identification of the technical or biological parameters describing the relationships between household resource use (household services, health habits) and outcomes (health) when households are optimising and heterogeneous.
Differentiation between technical and behavioural
relations presumably provides better estimates of the effects of behaviour on such produced goods as health outcomes and an improved understanding of the roles of education in the nonmarket sector. Recent work has been concerned with the interplay between the economic environment, the intrafamily allocation of consumption and investment resources across household members with differing characteristics (age, gender, ability), and the formation and structure of households. Understanding the behaviour of individuals making collective household decisions when the membership of the household is itself endogenously determined is a formidable task which occupies my current research resources.
