maximization of household welfare rests on the convexity of the budget sets. However, both the actual tax systems and the tax … specification might provide a reasonable approximation to the current intra-household allocation choices under the current tax rule …

In the present paper, we adopt the collective approach to consumer behavior - which supposes that each household member … conditional demand ('m-demand') framework in which household demands are directly derived from the marginal rates of substitution …. We show that (i) household demands have to satisfy testable constraints and (ii) some elements of the decision process …

In this paper, a formal test of intra-household commitment is derived and performed. To that end, two models of … household intertemporal behavior are developed. In both models, household members are characterized by individual preferences …. In the first formulation, household decisions are always on the ex-ante Pareto frontier. In the second model, the …

In this paper, the traditional household Euler equations are estimated for singles and separately for couples. Using … rationalize this result, I develop an intertemporal model with two features. First, household members are represented using … individual preferences. Second, household members cannot commit to future allocations of resources. It is shown that an excess …
