The Revealed Preference Approach to Collective Consumption Behavior : Nonparametric Testing and Sharing Rule Recovery (Revised version of CentER DP 2007-73)

Cherchye, L.J.H.; de Rock, B.; Vermeulen, F.M.P. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2009

We present a nonparametric 'revealed preference' methodology for empiri- cally analyzing collective consumption behavior. First, we introduce an integer programming (IP) methodology for testing data consistency with collective con- sumption models that account for publicly as well as privately...

Degrees of Cooperation in Household Consumption Models : A Revealed Preference Analysis

Cherchye, L.J.H.; Demuynck, T.; de Rock, B. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2009

We develop a revealed preference approach to analyze non-unitary con- sumption models with intrahousehold allocations deviating from the cooper- ative (or Pareto e¢ cient) solution. At a theoretical level, we establish re- vealed preference conditions of household consumption models with...

Nonparametric Analysis of Household Labor Supply : Goodness-of-Fit and Power of the Unitary and the Collective Model

Cherchye, L.J.H.; Vermeulen, F.M.P. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2006

We compare the empirical performance of unitary and collective labor supply models, using representative data from the Dutch DNB Household Survey.We conduct a nonparametric analysis that avoids the distortive impact of an erroneously speci.ed functional form for the prefer-ences and/or the...

Noncooperative Household Consumption with Caring

Cherchye, L.J.H.; Demuynck, T.; de Rock, B. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2011

We present a household consumption model that accounts for caring house- hold members, while allowing for noncooperative behavior in decisions on pub- lic goods. The intrahousehold consumption outcome critically depends on the degree of caring between the household members. By varying the degree...

Nonparametric Tests of Collectively Rational Consumption Behavior : An Integer Programming Procedure

Cherchye, L.J.H.; de Rock, B.; Sabbe, J.; Vermeulen, F.M.P. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2008

We present an IP-based nonparametric (revealed preference) testing proce- dure for rational consumption behavior in terms of general collective models, which include consumption externalities and public consumption. An empiri- cal application to data drawn from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring...

Behavioral Decisions and Policy

Dalton, Patricio Santiago; Ghosal, S. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2010

We study the public policy implications of a model in which agents do not fully internalize all the conscequences of their actions. Such a model uni es seemingly disconected models with behavioral agents. We evaluate the scope of paternalistic and libertarian-parternalistic policies in the light...

Sharing Rule Identification for General Collective Consumption Models

Cherchye, L.J.H.; de Rock, B.; Lewbel, A.; Vermeulen, F.M.P. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2012

Abstract: We propose a method to identify bounds (i.e. set identification) on the sharing rule for a general collective household consumption model. Unlike the effects of distribution factors, it is well known that the level of the sharing rule cannot be uniquely identified without strong...

Is Utility Transferable? A Revealed Preference Analysis

Cherchye, L.J.H.; Demuynck, T.; de Rock, B. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2011

We provide a revealed preference analysis of the transferable utility hypothesis, which is widely used in economic … consistent with Pareto efficiency under transferable utility. Next, we show that these conditions are easily testable by means of … data. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first empirical test of the transferable utility hypothesis. …

An Afriat Theorem for the Collective Model of Household Consumption

contrast, concavity of individual utility functions (representing convex preferences) turns out to be testable. In addition …
