Consumption and nutrition: age - intake profiles for Czechoslovakia 1989 - 1992
Miquel, Ruth; Laisney, François - 2000
This paper provides non-parametric estimates of the relation between nutrient intake and age for Czechoslovak individuals, as a function of characteristics of both the individual and the household she lives in, on the basis of household purchases. Results show no significant difference between...

Instrumental variable estimation of the causal effect of hunger early in life on health later in life
van den Berg, Gerard J.; Pinger, Pia R.; Schoch, Johannes - 2012
Numerous studies have evaluated the effect of nutrition early in life on health much later in life by comparing … provide exogenous variation in the provision of nutrition. However, living through a famine early in life does not necessarily … imply a lack of nutrition during that age interval, and vice versa, and in this sense the observed difference at most …

Family Tax Splitting: A Microsimulation of its Potential Labour Supply and Intra-household Welfare Effects in Germany
Laisney, François; Beninger, Denis; Beblo, Miriam - 2003
This paper assesses the effects that an introduction of the French family splitting mechanism would have on German families' labour supply and intra-household consumption behaviour. We use simulated real world microdata created by means of a 'deterministic' collective labour supply model. The...

Welfare Analysis of Fiscal Reforms: Does the Representation of the Family Decision Process Matter? Evidence for Germany
Laisney, François; Beninger, Denis; Beblo, Miriam - 2003
This paper compares predictions obtained for the analysis of tax reforms with collective and unitary models of household labour supply and consumption behaviour. We simulate real world microdata by means of a collective approach, using a compound procedure of estimation and calibration based on...

Estimation of Household Demand Systems with Theoretically Compatible Engel Curves and Unit Value Specifications
Preston, Ian; Laisney, François; Crawford, Ian A. - 2002
We develop a method for estimation of price reactions using unit value data which exploits the implicit links between quantity and unit value choices. This allows us to combine appealing Engel curve specifications with a model of unit value determination in a way which is consistent with demand...

Comparison between unitary and collective models of household labor supply with taxation
Laisney, François; Beninger, Denis - 2002
Several recent papers have shown the relevance of collective models for the empirical investigation of household labor supply and consumption. Yet the estimation of collective models in the presence of non-linear budget sets and participation decisions remains a daunting task. This paper...

Demand Systems with Unit Values: A Comparsion of Two Specifications
Lahatte, Agénor; Miquel, Ruth; Laisney, François; … - 1997
The availability of quantity information along with expenditure information in some household surveys allows the estimation of price reactions on the basis of unit values. We compare two specifications that have been proposed in this context by Deaton (1990) and Crawford et al. (1997) in order...
