Inefficient Collective Households: Cooperation and Consumption
提出了一个集体家庭消费低效模型,低效取决于合作因子,该因子影响资源分配和成员效用。家庭在给定合作因子下是条件有效的,从而在保留有效家庭建模便利的同时,衡量低效合作的美元成本。
Abstract We propose a model of consumption inefficiency in collective households. Inefficiency depends on a ‘cooperation factor’, which can also affect both the allocation of resources within a household and the utility of household members. Households are conditionally efficient, conditioning on the value of the cooperation factor. This lets us exploit convenient modelling features of efficient households (like not needing to specify the bargaining process), while still accounting for, and measuring the dollar cost of, inefficient levels of cooperation.
