Mother or child? : intra-household redistribution under gender-asymmetric altruism
Dasgupta, Indraneel - 2009
In developing societies, social norms typically ascribe differential weights to paternal, maternal and communal (or state) contributions to children's expenses. Individuals internalize these valuations. I examine a Cournot model of voluntary contribution to children's goods in a two-adult...
