We suggest a methodology to calibrate a collective model with household-specific bargaining rules and marriage-specific preferences that incorporate leisure externalities. The empirical identification relies on the assumption ...
The literature on household behavior contains hardly any empirical research on the within household distributional effects of tax-benefit policies. We simulate this effect in the framework of a collective model of labor ...
A widely shared intuition holds that individual control over money matters for
the decision process within the household and the subsequent distribution of re-
sources and welfare. As a consequence, there are good reasons ...
This paper proposes a comparison of the results of tax policy analysis obtained on the basis of unitary and collective representations of the household. We first generate labour supplies consistent with the collective ...
We apply an extension of the Rothbarth approach to estimate the share of
household resources accruing to children (i.e., the cost of children) in Ireland.
The method also allows us to identify the economies of scale in ...
In this paper, we suggest a collective model with parents and (young)
children. We identify and estimate scale economies in households and the
sharing rule between husband, wife and children. While adult shares and
economies ...
A framework for simplified implementation of the collective model of labor supply decisions is presented in the context of fiscal reforms in the UK. Through its collective form the model accounts for the well known problem ...
