The bargaining family revisited

Kai Konrad and Kjell Erik Lommerud

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, 2000, vol. 33, issue 2, 471-487

Abstract: We suggest a family bargaining model where human capital investment decisions are made non‐cooperatively in a first stage, while day‐to‐day allocation of time is determined later through Nash bargaining, but with non‐cooperative behaviour as the fall‐back. One finding is that overinvestment in education may be even more of a problem in such a semi‐cooperative model than in a fully non‐cooperative one. Even though both the semi‐cooperative model and the fully non‐cooperative model predict overinvestment in education, policy conclusions that follow from the two models are distinctly different. JEL Classification: D13, J24 Les auteurs suggèrent un modèle de famille qui marchande où les décisions d'investissement en capital humain sont prises de manière non‐coopérative dans un premier temps, alors que l'allocation du temps au jour le jour est déterminée plus tard par un marchandage à la Nash, mais avec un comportement noncoopératif comme choix de second ordre. On découvre que le surinvestissement dans l'éducation peut être encore plus problématique dans un tel modèle de semi‐coopération que dans un modèle de non coopération. Même si les deux modèles prévoient un surinves;chtissement dans l'éducation, les conclusions au plan de la politique publique qui découlent de ces deux modèles sont fort différentes.
