Marriage Market, Parents’ Bargaining Powers, and Children's Nutrition and Education*
结合婚姻市场性别比例和资源汇集两个检验,考察印尼家庭内部资源分配,发现儿童营养方面非统一模型更适用,教育投资结果则较复杂。
Abstract Test of resource pooling and test of effect of sex ratio in the marriage market on intrahousehold resource allocation are combined to test the unitary household model. The consistency condition between the two tests is derived to test the Nash household bargaining and Pareto‐efficient household models. I examine intrahousehold resource allocation to children's nutrition and education in Indonesia. For children's nutrition, the unitary household model is rejected in favour of the non‐unitary models. The results for investment in education are mixed. The decision‐making process may differ depending on the type of decision being made.
