abstract |
Over the last thirty years, economic models have been developed that recognize that
potentially conflicting interests may shape household decisions and the sharing of
resources within families. This paper provides an overview of how decision-making
within households has been modeled within economics, presents the main benefits and
limitations of those models and critically assesses their usefulness to those from
other disciplines interested in the within-household distribution of resources. Our
main focus is on the theory, empirical application and results of the currently dominant
collective models, but we also look at developments that led up to them and some subsequent
extensions and alternative approaches. Given the weight placed by policy-makers and
others on economic and quantitative evidence, it is incumbent on researchers of all
disciplines to understand the achievements and limitations of the models used, explicitly
or implicitly, to produce such evidence and the assumptions that lie behind them. |
