Expert subject Economics date February 2009 Consumer economics is a branch of economics . It is a broad field, principally concerned with microeconomics microeconomic analysis behavior in units of consumer s, family families , or individuals in contrast to traditional economics, which primarily government or business units . It sometimes also encompasses family financial planning and policy analysis. The term largely describes what was more commonly called home economics in the past. Consumer Economics differs from Economics in general. Consumer Economics has a multidisciplinary character. Cochrane and Bell in their definition described it as the study of decision making by households with respect to the choice of goods and services used in living together with the relationships growing out of, and the activities surrounding, that decision making.

When economic theory was insufficient to explain the phemonemon of women starting to enter the labor force en masse , consumer economics both gained attention and received important contributions from economic theorists. Major theoretical cornerstones include Gary Becker s Household Production Model, time allocation models and Stigler s information search theory. Consumer economics concludes the family unit economists were strongly influenced by the most recent consumer era which was the Modern Consumer Movement of the 1970s. The connection between Consumer Economics and consumer related politics has been overt, Fact date May 2007 although the strength of the connection varies between Universities and individuals.
