Opening the black box of intra-household decision-making : theory and non-parametric empirical tests of general collective consumption models

Cherchye, Laurens (contributor); Rock, Bram de (contributor) - 2005

We non-parametrically test a general collective consumption model with public consumption and externalities inside the household. We further propose a novel approach to model special cases of the general collective model. These special cases include alternative restrictions on the 'sharing rule'...

Noncooperative Household Consumption with Caring

Cherchye, L. - 2011

We present a household consumption model that accounts for caring household members, while allowing for noncooperative behavior in decisions on public goods. The intrahousehold consumption outcome critically depends on the degree of caring between the household members. By varying the degree of...

Is Utility Transferable? A Revealed Preference Analysis

Cherchye, L. - 2011

We provide a revealed preference analysis of the transferable utility hypothesis, which is widely used in economic models. First, we establish revealed preference conditions that must be satisfied for observed group behavior to be consistent with Pareto efficiency under transferable utility....

Commitment in Intertemporal Household Consumption : A Revealed Preference Analysis

Cherchye, L. - 2011

We present a revealed preference methodology for analyzing intertemporal household consumption behavior. In doing so, we follow a collective approach, which explicitly recognizes that multi-member households consist of multiple decision makers with their own rational preferences. Following...

Sharp for SARP : Nonparametric Bounds on the Behavioural and Welfare Effects of Price Changes

Blundell, Richard W. - 2012

Sharp nonparametric bounds are derived for Hicksian compensating and equivalent variations. These 'i-bounds' generalize earlier results of Blundell, Browning and Crawford (2008). We show that their e-bounds are sharp under the Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference (WARP). They do not require...

Generating Random Optimising Choices

Heufer, Jan - 2012

Generalised Axiom of Revealed Preferences (GARP), that is, they are consistent with utility maximisation. The choices are drawn … from an approximate uniform distribution on the admissible region on each budget which ensures consistency with GARP, based … it can be used to approximate the power of tests for conditions for which GARP is a necessary but not sufficient …

Sharing Rule Identification for General Collective Consumption Models

Cherchye, L. - 2012

We propose a method to identify bounds (i.e. set identification) on the sharing rule for a general collective household consumption model. Unlike the effects of distribution factors, it is well known that the level of the sharing rule cannot be uniquely identified without strong assumptions on...

Revealed Notions of Distributive Justice I – Theory

Becker, Nicole - 2013

We provide a framework to decompose preferences into a notion of distributive justice and a selfishness part and to recover individual notions of distributive justice from data collected in appropriately designed experiments. "Dictator games" with varying transfer rates used in Andreoni and...

Revealed Notions of Distributive Justice II – Experimental Evidence

Becker, Nicole - 2013

We report the results of a combination of a dictator experiment with either a "social planner" or a "veil of ignorance" experiment. The experimental design and the analysis of the data are based on the theoretical framework proposed in the companion paper by Becker, Häger, and Heufer (BHH,...
