Household Allocations and Endogenous Information
This paper tests for the endogeneity of one of the main elements separating different models of intrahousehold allocations, namely the household information set. Based on unusually rich data, I find that split migrant couples in the Nairobi slums invest considerable resources into information acquisition through visits, sibling and child monitoring, budget submissions, and marital search.

متن کاملHousehold Debt and Consumption Inequality: The Spanish Case
The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, we attempt to find out whether Spanish households took part in a process of substituting loans for wages during the period before the beginning of the current economic crisis.

متن کاملcient intra - household allocations and distribution factors : implications and identi cation . 1 François Bourguignon
This paper provides an exhaustive characterization of testability and identi ability issues in the collective framework in the absence of price variation; it thus provides a theoretical underpinning for a number of empirical works that have been developed recently. We rst provide a simple and general test of the Pareto e¢ ciency hypothesis, which is consistent with all possible assumptions on ...

We develop an empirical collective matching model with endogenous marriage formation, participation, and labor supply decisions. The sharing rule in our collective matching model arises endogenously as a transfer that clears the marriage market. With information on at least two independent marriage markets, incorporating matching in the collective model allows us to identify the sharing rule fr...
