Labor Supply: A Review of Alternative Approaches
TL;DR: A survey of existing approaches to modeling labor supply and identifying important gaps in the literature that could be addressed in future research can be found in this article, where a discussion of recent policy reforms and labor market facts that motivate the study of labor supply is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unitary versus collective models of the household : time to shift the burden of proof?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that more effective policy instruments will emerge from analyzing the processes by which households balance the diverse interests of their members, such as the distribution of tasks and goods.

Introducing Household Production in Collective Models of Labor Supply
TL;DR: Chiappori as discussed by the authors proposed a model of labor supply based on a "collective" representation of household behavior, where each household member is characterized by his or her own utility function, and decisions are only assumed to result in Pareto-efficient outcomes.

Why Governments Should Invest More to Educate Girls
TL;DR: This article argued that women and men often receive the same percentage increase in their wage rates with advances in schooling, and that the marginal returns for women will tend to exceed those for men, especially in countries where women are much less educated.

Collective Labor Supply and Household Production
Patricia Apps,Ray Rees +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors emphasise the importance of incorporating household production into the 'collective model' of the household, and consider how and to what extent the results of Chiappori (1992) can be extended to this case.

A Theory of Social Interactions
TL;DR: In this paper, a general treatment of social interactions into the modern theory of consumer demand is presented, where various characteristics of different persons are assumed to affect the utility functions of some persons, and the behavioral implications are systematically explored.

Rational household labor supply
TL;DR: In this paper, the household behavior is modeled as a two-member collectivity taking Pareto-efficient decisions, and the consequences of this assumption are analyzed in a three-good model, in which only total consumption and each member's labor supply are observable.

Social Indifference Curves
TL;DR: The use of community indifference curves has been extensively studied in the literature as discussed by the authors, with a focus on the problem of family preference and on the regular properties of social indifference contours.
