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 extend the nonparametric 'revealed preference' methodology for analyzing collective consumption behavior (with consumption externalities and public consumption), to render it useful for empirical applications that deal with welfare-related questions. First, we provide a nonparametric...

We adopt the collective approach to consumer behavior with egoistic agents, and assume that the household consumption … is either private or public. We then show that (i) household demands have to satisfy testable constraints and (ii) some …;m-demandquot;) framework in which household demands are directly derived from the marginal rates of substitution. Finally, we present an …

This article considers non-unitary models of household behavior. These models suppose explicitly that households … household behavior in these models are subject to constraints that differ from the traditional Slutsky conditions. In addition …, in a certain number of specific cases, the preferences of the different household members can be identified from …

The implementation of Gary Becker's (1965) time allocation model is hampered by the fact that values of the different time uses are usually not observed. In practice, one often assumes that the value of time is uniform across time uses by using market wages. This approach implies a fundamental...

We propose a novel structural method to empirically identify economies of scale in household consumption. We assume … behavior. The method imposes no parametric structure on household decision processes, accounts for unobserved preference … heterogeneity across individuals in different households, and requires only a single consumption observation per household.Our main …
