Collective Labor Supply With Children∗

چکیده
We extend the collective model of household behavior to allow for the existence of public consumption. We show how this model allows to analyze welfare consequences of policies aimed at changing the distribution of power within the household. In particular, we claim that our setting provides an adequate conceptual framework for addressing issues linked to the ’targetting’ of specific benefits or taxes. We also show that the observation of the labor supplies and the household demand for the public good allow to identify individual welfare and the decision process. This requires either a separability assumption, or the presence of a distribution factor.

متن کاملLabor Supply, Home Production and Welfare Comparisons
Labor Supply, Home Production and Welfare Comparisons We consider the collective model of labor supply with marketable domestic production. We first show that, if domestic production is mistakenly ignored, the “collective” indirect utilities that are retrieved from observed behavior will be unbiased if and only if the profit function is additive. Otherwise, in the non-additive case, the directi...
