Intrahousehold Consumption Allocation and Demand for Agency: A Triple Experimental Investigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We conduct lab experiments to investigate demand for consumption agency in married couples from Pakistan. Most subjects are no better at guessing their spouse's preferences than those of a stranger, suggesting that individual executive has instrumental value. find significant evidence all experiments, varying with the cost and anticipated benefit agency. But often make choices incompatible purely motives—e.g., paying when knowing partner assigned them preferred choice. Female willing exert even they have little within household.

a benchmarking approach to optimal asset allocation for insurers and pension funds
uncertainty in the financial market will be driven by underlying brownian motions, while the assets are assumed to be general stochastic processes adapted to the filtration of the brownian motions. the goal of this study is to calculate the accumulated wealth in order to optimize the expected terminal value using a suitable utility function. this thesis introduced the lim-wong’s benchmark fun...
15 صفحه اولEfficiency in Intrahousehold Resource Allocation
This paper examines the allocation of productive resources within rural households of poor countries. Building upon the existing literature, it provides a consistent framework from which to study productive efficiency and intrahousehold equity. The topics discussed include returns to scale and household centralization; specialization and gender casting; separate spheres and commitment failure; ...
متن کاملA numerical and experimental investigation of ‘‘inverse’’ triple flames
Tribrachial or triple flames represent a class of partially premixed flames that generally contain three spatially distinct but synergistically coupled reaction zones, namely a rich premixed, a lean premixed, and a nonpremixed reaction zone. The generally considered flow arrangement for burner-stabilized triple flames involves a rich mixture issuing from a central port and a lean mixture from t...
متن کاملIncome and Outcomes: A Structural Model of Intrahousehold Allocation
There is evidence from several sources that one cannot treat manyperson households as a single decision maker. If this is the case, then factors such as the relative incomes of the household members may affect the final allocation decisions made by the household. We develop a method of identifying how "incomes affect outcomes" given conventional family expenditure data. The basic assumption we ...
متن کاملIntrahousehold Allocation and Gender Relations: New Empirical Evidence
The paper reviews recent theory and empirical evidence testing unitary versus collective models of the household. In contrast to the unitary model, the collective model posits that individuals within households have different preferences and do not pool their income. Moreover, the collective model predicts that intrahousehold allocations reflect differences in preferences and "bargaining power"...
