The Allocation of Consumption by Married-Couple Families in the U.S.: An Analysis Conditionning on Labor Supply

Marilyn E. Manser

Annals of Economics and Statistics, 1993, issue 29, 83-108

Abstract: This study analyzes demand patterns conditioning on male and female work status and hours of labor supplied, following Browning and Meghir's approach [1991]. It also explores implications of "collective" models of household decision-marking. Somewhat weak evidence is found for the necessity of conditioning on labor supplies. Husband/wife relative wages do not have a significant effect on the demands, while total expenditures and the number of children have very strong effects.
