Abstract: This research tests a bargaining model of household fertility decision-making. Using unstructured interviews conducted in Brazil in 1990 and 1992-93, and an econometric analysis of the 1984 PNAD .5 percent sample of Brazilian households, we examine the impact of husband-wife bargaining fertility.
