In this paper an empirical model is developed where the collective household model is used as a basic framework to … describe the time allocation problem. The collective model views household behavior as the outcome of maximizing a household … the main accent still lies on the development of theory. The novelty of this paper is that we empirically estimate the two …

This paper studies household labor supply, within the context of an intertemporal collective model, and three prominent … intrahousehold commitment regimes: full commitment, no commitment, and limited commitment. We propose a test that distinguishes among … all three alternatives based on how contemporary and historical changes to the economic environment affect household …
