Sharing Rule Identification for General Collective Consumption Models

Cherchye, Laurens; De Rock, Bram; Lewbel, Arthur; … - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2012

The Measurement of Child Costs: A Rothbarth-Type Method Consistent with Scale Economies

Bargain, Olivier; Donni, Olivier - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2009
