This paper is intended to bridge the theoretical literature describing efficient intra-household behaviour and the … spouses. It examines the key elements of the collective model and discusses its relevance to analysing intra-household …

Employment helps reduce the risk of poverty. Through a randomized controlled trial, we evaluate the impact of a … conditional cash transfer (CCT) program to low-income families with dependent children on household members' labor supply …

Hardly any literature exists on the relationship between equivalence scales and poverty dynamics for transitional … countries. We offer a new study on the impacts of equivalence scale adjustments on poverty dynamics in the Russian Federation …, using equivalence scales constructed from subjective wealth and more than 20 waves of household panel survey data from the …

This paper examines the allocation of resources of poverty rates within households in Suriname. To this end we employ a …

Collective models have become the go-to framework for intra-household allocations. Available empirical collective … models are built for fixed sets of household members and accommodate diversity in household structures with difficulty … naturally to households of all shapes and sizes.

The main findings suggest that women's labor allocation to economic … activities is comparable to that of men. Household chores and care work are women's responsibility, which they perform with …

We provide a method to estimate resource shares - the fraction of total household expenditure allocated to each … household member - using OLS estimation of Engel curves. The method is a linear reframing of the nonlinear model of Dunbar … to data from 12 countries, and investigate resource shares, gender gaps, and poverty at the individual level. We reject …
