Separability between own food production and consumption in Turkey

Tekgüç, Hasan - İktisat Bölümü, İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi - 2011

Complete markets imply the separation of food production and consumption decisions such that they can be modeled to occur sequentially and can be studied independently. Separation is very often assumed implicitly in empirical studies of food demand. If there is such separation, then food sourced...

Intra-household efficiency: An experimental study from Ethiopia

Kebede, Bereket - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2011

econometric analyses provide many interesting results that have far-reaching implications for intra-household models. Efficiency … in contribution behaviour is decisively rejected in all treatments casting doubt on 'unitary' and 'collective' household … models that assume Pareto optimality - significant amounts of potential surplus are not realised. Contribution rates by …

Testing for Separation in Agricultural Household Models and Unobservable Household-Specific Effects

Arcand, Jean-Louis; D'Hombres, Béatrice - HAL - 2011

When market structure is complete, factor demands by households will be independent of their characteristics, and households will take their production decisions as if they were profit-maximizing firms. This observation constitutes the basis for one of the most popular empirical tests for...

Are Children Decision-Makers Within the Household?

Dauphin, Anyck; Lahga, Abdel-Rahmen El; Fortin, Bernard; … - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2010

Children are seldom accounted for in household behavioural models. They are usually assumed to have neither the capacity nor the power to influence the household decision process. The literature on collective models has so far incorporated children through the caring preferences of their parents...

Health and Retirement Effects in a Collective Consumption Model of Older Households

Lewbel, Arthur; Seitz, Shannon; Bütikofer, Aline - Department of Economics, Boston College - 2010

Using data on elderly individuals and couples, we estimate a collective model of household consumption of a variety of goods, showing how resources are shared between husband and wife, and how this allocation is affected by retirement and health status. We identify the extent to which shared...

The economies of scale of living together and how they are shared: Estimates based on a collective household model

Bütikofer, Aline; Gerfin, Michael - 2009

How large are the economies of scale of living together? And how do partners share their resources? The first question is usually answered by equivalence scales. Traditional estimation and application of equivalence scales assumes equal sharing of income within the household. This paper uses...
