A Simple Model of Collective Consumption
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we present a collective model of household demand based on Pareto-efficiency. In addition, we suppose that (i) each household member is egoistic and consumption is purely private, (ii) there is a set of distribution factors and (iii) there is one exclusive good. Then we derive the testable restrictions which are implied by this theoretical setting. Mots clés : modèle collectif, demande du ménage, facteurs de distribution, matrice de Slutsky

On the Distribution of Discounted Collective Risk Model
We study the distribution of discounted collective risk model where the counting process is Poisson. For the model considered here, we obtain mean, variance and moment generating function (m.g.f) of the model. To do this, we use two approaches. In the first approach we use classical methods to obtain the mean and variance. In the second approach we introduce some proper martingale and then we o...
متن کاملCollective Choice with Linear Utilities
This note considers a property, called “limited shared weak preferences” (LSWP), in the context of a model with linear utility functions defined on a polyhedron of alternatives. As special cases, we capture the distributive politics model with externalities in consumption, and we capture collective choice of lotteries by expected utility-maximizing agents. We give a simple sufficient condition ...
متن کاملAn Afriat Theorem for the collective model of household consumption
An Afriat Theorem for the Collective Model of Household Consumption We provide a nonparametric ‘revealed preference’ characterization of rational household behavior in terms of the collective consumption model, while accounting for general (possibly non-convex) individual preferences. We establish a Collective Axiom of Revealed Preference (CARP), which provides a necessary and sufficient condit...
متن کاملOpening the Black Box of Intra-Household Decision-Making: Theory and Non-Parametric Empirical Tests of General Collective Consumption Models
Opening the Black Box of Intra-Household Decision-Making: Theory and Non-Parametric Empirical Tests of General Collective Consumption Models We non-parametrically test a general collective consumption model with public consumption and externalities inside the household. We further propose a novel approach to model special cases of the general collective model. These special cases include altern...
متن کاملEconomic Well-being and Poverty among the Elderly: An Analysis Based on a Collective Consumption Model
Economic Well-Being and Poverty among the Elderly: An Analysis Based on a Collective Consumption Model We apply the collective consumption model of Browning, Chiappori and Lewbel (2006) to analyse economic well-being and poverty among the elderly. The model focuses on individual preferences, a consumption technology that captures the economies of scale of living in a couple, and a sharing rule ...
