We present a methodology for the structural empirical analysis of household consumption and time use behaviour under marital stability. Our approach is of the revealed preference type and non-parametric, meaning that it does not require a prior functional specification of individual utilities....

We model the interaction between the marriage market and the intrahousehold allocation of resources. We do this within a setting that accounts for both economic gains to marriage (through public consumption) and unobserved non-material match quality, without relying on the transferable utility...
