Modes of Interaction Between Divorced Parents

Christopher Flinn

Working Papers from C.V. Starr Center for Applied Economics, New York University

Abstract: It is not unusual for researchers as well as laypersons to refer to the behaviour of non-custidial parents who comply with legally-determined child support obligations as "cooperative", event though this term would not typically be appropirate from the perspective of formal models of expenditures on public goods [the children in this case]. We develop a model in which compliance with child support orders is ynonymous with cooperative behaviour.
