Studies of inequality often ignore resource allocation within the household. In doing so they miss an important element … intrahousehold allocation of resources and welfare. We show how the sharing rule, which characterizes the within-household … allocations, can be identified from data on household consumption and labor supply. We also argue that a measure based on …

We find … household choice are the product of individual preference nonstationarities or the result of individual heterogeneity and … renegotiation within the collective unit. An empirical application to household-level microdata highlights that an explicit …

We propose a method to identify bounds (i.e. set identification) on the sharing rule for a general collective household … bounds by applying revealed preference restrictions implied by the collective model to the household's continuous aggregate … assignable within the household, though having such information tightens the bounds.

We develop a novel framework to analyze the structural implications of the marriage market for household consumption … patterns. We start by defining a revealed preference characterization of efficient household consumption when the marriage is … observation per household and individual preferences are heterogeneous across households.
