Most analysis of intrahousehold decisions has been conducted using aggregate revealed preference data where preferences of
individual agents are never observed, only the household consumption outcomes are observed. We examine household behavior
in a bargaining framework by combining stated preference information from individual members of the household with revealed
preference information on the household’s actual choices. The resulting model provides information on the degree to which
the decision is the result of a bargaining process as well as information on the factors affecting bargaining power.

This paper views temporary parental leave (leave from work to take care of a sick child) as a household public good, produced
with time inputs of the parents as the only input. Assuming equal productivities in the production of temporary parental leave
and equal utility functions of the spouses, different household decision-making processes are applied to develop theoretical
hypotheses on sharing that are thereafter tested empirically. The empirical estimations show that the decision-making process
of the spouses can be explained by a Stackelberg model with male dominance. A stronger threat-point of the female is found
to push the intra household allocation of temporary parental leave towards greater sharing between the spouses. In addition,
an increase in the insurance ceiling will further sharing of temporary parental leave in some families, while reducing it
in others.

Family Financial Risk Taking When the Wife Earns More 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
Nancy Ammon Jianakoplos Alexandra Bernasek 《Journal of Family and Economic Issues》2008,29(2):289-306
This study investigates whether the relative bargaining power of spouses plays a role in explaining household financial risk
taking. Traditional models assume that household decisions are made based on pooled resources and common preferences. In contrast,
bargaining models hypothesize that household decisions depend on the relative bargaining power of spouses. According to bargaining
models, if women are more risk averse, then households should exhibit less financial risk taking as the bargaining power of
the wife increases. Results of an analysis of household financial risk taking in a sample of dual-earner, married households
from the 2004 Survey of Consumer Finances are more consistent with decision making based on pooled resources rather than on the relative bargaining power of spouses.

This paper extends the program evaluation literature by investigating intra-household externalities generated by a reproductive
health program, administered as a quasi-control experiment in rural Bangladesh. Although the program targeted only mothers
and children in randomly selected treatment areas, using a reduced form demand approach and data from Matlab Health and Socio-economic
Survey of 1996, we found a significantly positive spillover impact of this reproductive health program on the health of the
never-targeted elderly women.

Decision-making by children 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Shelly Lundberg Jennifer L. Romich Kwok Ping Tsang 《Review of Economics of the Household》2009,7(1):1-30
In this paper, we examine the determinants of decision-making power by children and young adolescents. Moving beyond previous
economic models that treat children as goods consumed by adults, we develop a noncooperative model of parental control of
child behavior and child resistance. Using child reports of decision-making and psychological and cognitive measures from
the NLSY79 Child Supplement, we examine the determinants of shared and sole decision-making based on indices created from
seven domains of child activity. We find that the determinants of sole decision-making by the child and shared decision-making
with parents are quite distinct: sharing decisions appears to be a form of parental investment in child development rather
than a simple stage in the transfer of authority. In addition, we find that indicators of child capabilities and preferences
affect reports of decision-making authority in ways that suggest child demand for autonomy as well as parental discretion
in determining these outcomes.

By reducing risk of large out-of-pocket medical expenses, comprehensive social health insurance may reduce households’ motivation
to engage in precautionary behaviors such as saving, procurement of private insurance, and spousal labor-force participation.
We use the natural experiment provided by the 1995 introduction of National Health Insurance in Taiwan to examine these effects,
using pre-existing differences in access to health insurance (tied to the household head’s and spouse’s joint employment status)
to identify the effects of increasing insurance coverage. We find that comprehensive health insurance has a statistically
significant and large effect on household savings, but no significant effects on purchase of private accident insurance and
spousal employment.

The theoretical and empirical literature on parental investment focuses on whether child-specific parental investments reinforce
or compensate for a child’s initial endowments. However, many parental investments, such as neighborhood quality and family
size and structure, are shared wholly or in part among all children in a household. The empirical results of this paper imply
that such household parental investments compensate for low endowments, as proxied by low birth weight.

In this paper we consider the issue of the intra-household distribution of welfare directly using a survey measure of self-perceived
economic well-being. We develop a theoretical model of satisfaction within the household for couples. In the empirical analysis
we find that husbands and wives often report different levels of financial satisfaction. The most important correlate of relative
satisfaction within the household is found to be relative income. This is a direct confirmation of the previously implicit
findings and is predicted by our theoretical model.

As a profession, social work has always advocated for clients. Yet clinical social work settings often ignore this important
aspect of practice. For mental health services in public agencies, patient advocacy is a particularly vital element because
these systems are not always responsive to the individual client. The clinical social worker, trained in advocacy, systemic
intervention, and psychotherapy, is the professional most qualified to fill this role. The author summarizes the history of
advocacy, provides a conceptual framework for the clinical social work advocate, and provides examples from 20 years of experience
as a patient advocate in community mental health.

The economics of gay and lesbian couples: Introduction to a special issue on gay and lesbian households 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This article presents a simple conceptual framework integrating three couple-related outcomes analyzed in this volume: wage
differentials in earnings related to couple formation, household formation (including cohabitation and registration as Registered
Domestic Partnership), and intra-household allocation of income. It also discusses some of the articles’ main findings.

Juvenile justice—increasingly the service delivery point for adolescents with substance abuse and co-occurring problems lacking resources for other assistance—can be a model for improved and expanded, yet cost-effective, adolescent substance abuse treatment. An emergent standard of care challenges systemic inequities; a new service array facilitates dialogue among justice and treatment professionals, families, and the youth themselves. Such evidence-based practice—and the policy to implement it—have the power to transform disconnected laws, programs and professionals into an effective, efficient and successful community of responders, helping youth reclaim their lives while improving public health and public safety.

This paper contributes to research examining class formation processes among capitalists by analyzing the fracturing of multiemployer collective bargaining associations in the U.S. coal mining and steel industries. The paper evaluates three theories of bargaining decentralization and offers an alternative account. Analyzing both the earlier stability of multiemployer bargaining and its subsequent decline, the paper attributes decentralization to changes in relationships of interdependence and power among unionized firms. While broad processes of economic restructuring gave rise to these shifts, social processes involving conflict and negotiation determined the specific direction of institutional change.

Household Debt and Marital Instability: Evidence from the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Korean society has recently experienced rapid increases in household debt and divorce rates. This study investigates whether
household debt and debt ratios lower marital stability and increase the probability of divorce among Korean families. Six-year
panels from the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS) household surveys were used for analysis. The effect of household
debt upon the probability of divorce was estimated through pooled and population-averaged Logit models. The results suggest
that household financial strain measured by the amount of household debt and the debt-to-income ratios does not significantly
affect the probability of divorce. This finding contradicts the widespread notion that households’ excessive borrowing has
been partially responsible for the recent increase in divorce rates in Korea.

We used the 2002 National Study of the Changing Workforce to investigate the effects of work type on women’s lives. Specifically,
we hypothesized that self-employed women have better work–family fit than organizationally employed women. We also hypothesized
that as a result of better work–family fit, self-employed women would report better mental health than organizationally employed
women. The analysis shows limited support for the hypotheses. Of the different dimensions of work–family fit, self-employment
directly influenced only job to home facilitation. Work type had no direct influence on mental health. It appears that work
type may indirectly influence work–family fit and mental health through higher job satisfaction and increased autonomy.

This paper analyzes income-pooling by using a unique Danish data set that includes questions on income pooling among 1,696
couples. The analyses show that most Danish households use some kind of income pooling and that the proportion of income pooled
varies considerably according to individual characteristics (age, education, occupation, past partners, upbringing) and household
characteristics (household income, duration of marriage, location of residence and the existence of public goods, including
children). However, when all variables are evaluated in a common model, the duration of marriage and the existence of children
predominantly affect the likelihood of income pooling.

Collective Models of Labor Supply with Nonconvex Budget Sets and Nonparticipation: A Calibration Approach 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Frederic Vermeulen Olivier Bargain Miriam Beblo Denis Beninger Richard Blundell Raquel Carrasco Maria-Concetta Chiuri François Laisney Valérie Lechene Nicolas Moreau Michal Myck Javier Ruiz-Castillo 《Review of Economics of the Household》2006,4(2):113-127
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 that some aspects of individual
preferences remain the same after marriage, so that estimation on single individuals can be used. The procedure maps the complete
Pareto frontier of each household in the dataset and we define alternative measures of a power index. The latter is then regressed
on relevant bargaining factors, including a set of variables retracing the potential relative contributions of the spouses
to household disposable income. In its capacity to handle complex budget sets and labor force participation decisions of both
spouses, this framework allows the comparison of unitary and collective predictions of labor supply reactions and welfare
changes entailed by fiscal reforms in a realistic setting (see Michal Myck et al., 2006; Denis Beninger et al., 2006).

Did the legalization of abortion increase women’s household bargaining power? Evidence from labor supply 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Sonia Oreffice 《Review of Economics of the Household》2007,5(2):181-207
I estimate the impact of abortion legalization on spouses’ labor supplies to test whether legalization increased women’s household
bargaining power, in a collective household behavior framework. Based on CPS data, I find that wives’ labor supply decreased
and their husbands’ increased, which is consistent with the bargaining hypothesis. This contrasts with most studies of abortion
and birth control technologies, which predict a labor supply effect only for women, and of opposite sign. Also consistent
with the bargaining interpretation, I estimate no significant impact on anti-abortion religious couples or on those who regularly
used contraceptives. PSID data yield supportive evidence.

Plurality rule is mostly criticized from being capable of choosing an alternative considered as worst by a strict majority.
This paper considers elections in which the agenda consists of potential candidates strategically choosing whether or not
to enter the election. In this context, we examine the ability of scoring rules to fulfil the Condorcet criterion. We show
for the case of three potential candidates that Plurality rule is the only scoring rule that satisfies a version of the Condorcet
criterion in two cases: 1) when preferences are single-peaked and, 2) when preferences are single-dipped.

Economic Status of Older Asians in the United States 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Deanna L. Sharpe 《Journal of Family and Economic Issues》2008,29(4):570-583
Data from the 5-percent Census 2000 Public Use Microdata were utilized to examine the economic status of six Asian-only groups
in the United States aged 65 and older. Japanese Americans’ economic status emulated that of older Whites; whereas, older
Korean and Vietnamese economic status more closely resembled that of older Blacks. Regression results indicated that education,
household size, and duration of immigration were significantly and positively related to household income for most of the
Asian-only groups, supporting the theory that human capital, structural barriers, and acculturation all play a role in determination
of household income for older Asian Americans.
