Parentonomics launch

New South launches Parentonomics by Joshua Gans, the result of a professor of economics wondering what it would be like to apply key economic principles to raising his own three children. Can incentives and rewards help to get them to sleep through the night, eat healthy meals, clean up their rooms, do their homework? From birthing classes to birthday parties and the parent teacher interview, one of Australia’s leading economists tells stories about everyday issues and conundrums that will have parents everywhere nodding in agreement and chuckling to themselves.
