We apply an extension of the Rothbarth approach to estimate the share of household resources accruing to children (i.e., the cost of children) in Ireland. The method also allows us to identify the economies of scale in the household and indifference scales in Lewbel (2003)’s sense. A practical...

We propose a new methodology to estimate the share of household income accruing to children (i.e., the cost of children). Following the principle of the Rothbarth approach, the identification of the children's share requires the observation of at least one adult-specific good. However, our...

Chiappori, Fortin and Lacroix [2001] estimate a model of collective labor supply on US data. We adopt the same empirical specification and investigate household labor supply in France. We account for the non-linearity of the budget set. We note that the data validate only partially the...

Dans cet article, je considère un modèle collectif d'heure de travail sous l'hypothèse que la consommation est purement publique. Je montre, ensuite, que le processus de décision peut être décrit par un équilibre de Lindahl. Les dotations, les préférences et les prix du bien public de...

We consider the collective model of labor supply with marketable domestic production. We first show that, if domestic production is mistakenly ignored, the 'collective' indirect utility functions that are retrieved from observed behavior will be unbiased if and only if the retrieved from...
