Gender, Agricultural Production, and the Theory of the Household
检验家庭内部资源配置的帕累托效率假设，发现非洲家庭中女性控制的土地耕作强度显著低于男性，导致约6%的产出损失，并提出新的家庭内部分配模型。
Virtually all models of the household assume that the allocation of resources is Pareto efficient. Within many African households, agricultural production occurs on many plots controlled by different members of the household. Pareto efficiency implies that factors should be allocated efficiently across these plots. The author finds, in contrast, that plots controlled by women are farmed much less intensively than similar plots within the household controlled by men. The estimates imply that about 6 percent of output is lost because of inefficient factor allocation within the household. The paper suggests a new approach to modeling intrahousehold allocation consistent with the empirical results. Copyright 1996 by University of Chicago Press.
