Abstract: This paper studies the distribution of resources within Albanian families in 2012 using a collective consumption model with two alternative specifications: the first enables the estimation of intrahousehold distribution of resources among male adults, female adults and children; the second extends the analysis to girls and boys. To improve the identification in the context of extended families we implement a strategy to identify the main decision making couple within the household.
