Intra-Household Resource Allocation: An Inferential Approach
Abstract
If household.income is pooled and then allocated to maximize welfare, then income under the control of mothers and fathers should have the same impact on demand.With survey data on family health and nutrition in Brazil, the equality of parental income effects is rejected.Unearned income in the hands of mothers has a bigger effect on her family's health than income under the control of fathers; for child survival probabilities the effect is almost twenty times bigger.The common preference (or neoclassical) model of the household is rejected.If unearned income is measured with error and income is pooled then the ratio of maternal to paternal income effects should be the same; equality of the ratios cannot be rejected.There is also evidence for gender preference: mothers prefer to devote resources to improving the nutritional status of their daughters, fathers to sons.,>.w

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
