DELTA Working Papers from DELTA (Ecole normale supérieure)

Abstract: This collective approach to household consumption behavior tries to infer from variables supposed to affect general bargaining position of household members information on the allocation of consumptions goods and tasks among them. This paper investigates the extension of previous work to the case where children may be considered as a public consumption good by the two adult members of a household.
