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 … correlation between individual wages and labor supply, while cross-wages go in the opposite direction.
