Time Allocation Within the Family: Welfare Implications of Life in a Couple
利用英国家庭面板调查数据,估计了一个包含家庭公共品生产的集体休闲需求模型,发现女性平均获得40%的家庭私人支出份额,且忽略家庭生产会高估该比例7个百分点。
A collective model of leisure demand, generalised to the production of a household public good, is estimated on the British Household Panel Survey. The sharing rule is identified by using an original parametric framework based on the change of family status: from single-living to couple or from couple to single-living. Womens' ratios of private household expenditures are 40% on average. The level of intra-household inequality appears highly dependent on the intra-household wage gap. Omitting household production in the model would overestimate the ratio by 7 percentage points on average. Copyright 2007 The Author(s). Journal compilation Royal Economic Society 2007.
