We investigate the relationship between the individual and household indirect utility functions in the context of a collective household model. Our analysis produces new results that explain how the rule governing the distribution of resources among household members is related to the...

We investigate the relationship between centralized and decentralized collective demand models applied to consumption within a household with multiple individuals. The centralized program is described by a Bergsonian representation of the household utility function and a household budget...
