TLDR
In this paper, the authors used a three stage least squares procedure that, besides recognising the endogeneity of all the income variables, allows for simultaneity between all income and expenditure equations, and showed that each individual pools the various components of her/his non-labour earnings, and men and women pool their non labour earnings between themselves.Abstract:
This paper tests, using data from South Africa and Pakistan, two major implications of the unitary household model, namely, that (a) each individual pools the various components of her/his non labour earnings, and (b) men and women pool their non labour earnings between themselves. The study uses a three stage least squares procedure that, besides recognising the endogeneity of all the income variables, allows for simultaneity between all the income and expenditure equations.read more

Is the Collective Model of Labor Supply Useful for Tax Policy Analysis? A Simulation Exercise
Olivier Bargain,Nicolas Moreau +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a collective model of labor supply when shifting from a joint to an individual taxation system in France is presented, and the authors show that the net-of-tax relative earning potential of the wife is a significant determinant of intra-household negotiation.

Estimating the endogenously determined intrahousehold balance of power and its impact on expenditure pattern : evidence from Nepal
Gayatri B. Koolwal,Ranjan Ray +1 more
TL;DR: Koolwal and Ray as discussed by the authors proposed a collective approach to household behavior, which relaxes the restrictive features of the unitary model by specifying household welfare as a weighted combination of the individuals' utilities.

Analysis of Resource Inflows and Their Impact on Household Behaviour: Evidence from South Africa
Pushkar Maitra,Ranjan Ray +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of alternative resource inflows on household expenditure using a framework that allows the resources inflows and expenditure to be determined simultaneously, and provided evidence of fluidity of household structure and point to new hypotheses on the effects of household resources on household composition.

The Lagrange Multiplier Test and its Applications to Model Specification in Econometrics
Trevor Breusch,Adrian Pagan +1 more
TL;DR: The Lagrange multiplier (LM) statistic as mentioned in this paper is based on the maximum likelihood ratio (LR) procedure and is used to test the effect on the first order conditions for a maximum of the likelihood of imposing the hypothesis.

Estimation and inference in econometrics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a nonlinear regression model based on the Gauss-Newton Regression for least squares, and apply it to time-series data and show that the model can be used for regression models for time series data.

Intra-household resource allocation: an inferential approach
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that unearned income in the hands of a mother has a bigger effect on her family's health than income under the control of a father; for child survival probabilities the effect is almost twenty times bigger.
