Applied Economics, 2012, vol. 44, issue 18, 2265-2281

Abstract: This article tests for economies of scale and for evidence of discrimination based on gender lines in intra-household consumption allocations using data from the Living Standards Survey in the Republic of Tajikistan (TLSS). Overall results support the existence of household economies of scale in Tajikistan; however, empirical evidence supporting boy--girl discrimination is limited despite anecdotal evidence otherwise.
