We provide a nonparametric 'revealed preference' characterization of rational household behavior in terms of the … nature of consumption externalities (positive or negative) in the intra-household allocation process is non-testable. The …, monotonicity is testable for the model that assumes all household consumption is public …

We propose a method to identify bounds (i.e. set identification) on the sharing rule for a general collective household … bounds by applying revealed preference restrictions implied by the collective model to the household's continuous aggregate … assignable within the household, though having such information tightens the bounds. An empirical application demonstrates the …

This paper analyzes the intra-household distribution of wealth and welfare in the United States, within a theoretical … framework based on a collective model of labor supply, where household decisions are Pareto efficient, and spouses negotiate a … wives tend to be more altruistic in comparison to their husbands regarding the intra-household allocation of income, which …

In this paper an empirical model is developed where the collective household model is used as a basic framework to … describe the time allocation problem. The collective model views household behavior as the outcome of maximizing a household … the main accent still lies on the development of theory. The novelty of this paper is that we empirically estimate the two …

maximization of household welfare rests on the convexity of the budget sets. However, both the actual tax systems and the tax … specification might provide a reasonable approximation to the current intra-household allocation choices under the current tax rule …
