Understanding Pareto Inefficient Intrahousehold Allocations
Understanding Pareto Inefficient Intrahousehold Allocations Udry (1996) uses household survey data and finds that the allocation of resources within households is Pareto inefficient, contradicting the main assumption of most collective models of intrahousehold bargaining. He finds that among plots planted with the same crop in the same year, within a given household, those controlled by women p...
متن کامل(In)Efficiency in Intrahousehold Allocations *
Previous research using plot-level agricultural data from Burkina Faso found that the allocation of resources within African households was Pareto inefficient, contradicting most collective models of intrahousehold bargaining. I provide an explanation for these households' Pareto inefficient behavior and I test its robustness using an alternative dataset also collected in Burkina Faso. Househol...
متن کاملAre Intrahousehold Allocations Efficient? Evidence from Monte Carlo Simulations
Models explaining household decisions assume that the member’s bargaining process, although unknown, leads to efficient outcomes. The empirical literature has not been able to reject this hypothesis when tested in several datasets, including those from poor, rich and emerging countries. This paper presents Monte Carlo simulations to show that the methods used for testing are inadequate for two ...
متن کاملUnimprovable Allocations in Economies with Incomplete Information
The paper considers an exchange economy with incomplete information in which agents can retrade goods until all gains from trade are exhausted. Unimprovable allocations are de ned to be those allocations from which agents would not wish to deviate either by retrading goods or by revealing further information. The concept of unimprovability is then used to analyze a lemons market and an adverse ...
متن کاملImplementation of Marginal Cost Pricing Equilibrium Allocations with Transfers in Economies with Increasing Returns to Scale
This paper considers implementation of marginal cost pricing equilibrium allocations with transfers for production economies with increasing returns to scale. We present a mechanism whose Nash equilibrium allocations coincide with the set of marginal cost pricing equilibrium allocations with transfers that characterizes Pareto efficient allocations for economies with non-convex production techn...
