Marital stability with committed couples: A revealed preference analysis
用显示性偏好方法刻画婚姻稳定性，区分了可自由离婚和需双方同意才能离婚的伴侣，发现没有私人品价格变化时只能识别非承诺伴侣的家庭内资源分配，有价格变化时两者均可识别。
We present a revealed preference characterization of marital stability where some couples are committed. A couple is committed if they can divorce only with mutual consent. We provide theoretical insights into the potential of the characterization for identifying intrahousehold consumption patterns. We demonstrate that without price variation for private goods among potential couples, intrahousehold resource allocations can only be identified for non-committed couples. We conduct simulations using Dutch household data to support our theoretical findings. Our results show that with price variation, the empirical implications of marital stability allow for the identification of household consumption allocations for both committed and non-committed couples.
