Political economy of redistribution between traditional and modern families
Meier, Volker; Rablen, Matthew D. - 2019
We analyse a model in which families may either be “traditional” single-earner with caring for the child at home or “modern” double-earner households using market child care. Family policies may favour either the one or the other group, like market care subsidies vs. cash for care....

Mother or child? : intra-household redistribution under gender-asymmetric altruism
Dasgupta, Indraneel - 2009
In developing societies, social norms typically ascribe differential weights to paternal, maternal and communal (or state) contributions to children's expenses. Individuals internalize these valuations. I examine a Cournot model of voluntary contribution to children's goods in a two-adult...
