Rationalité individuelle ou rationalité stratégique: le cas de l'offre familiale de travail

François Bourguignon

Revue Économique, 1984, vol. 35, issue 1, 147-162

Abstract: [fre] Cet article analyse le statut des conditions de Slutsky dans le test de la rationalité des décisions d'offre de travail d'un ménage à deux membres. Il y est montré que ces conditions peuvent être satisfaites dans un modèle stratégique, fondamenta­lement différent de la maximisation d'une utilité collective, et que, inversement, elles ne sont pas toujours satisfaites, empiriquement, sous cette dernière hypothèse qui peut, dans ces conditions, être à considérer comme un postulat. [eng] Individual or strategic rationality : . The case of family labor supply. François Bourguignon. This paper explores the status of Slutsky conditions for testing the rationality of labor-supply decision-making in a two-members household. It is shown that those conditions may hold in a game-theoretic model, fundamentally distinct from the collective utility maximization assumption, and that, conversely, they may not be empirically satisfied under the latter assumption, which might thus be considered as a postulate.
