Lechene (2001): “Caring and Sharing: Tests Between Alternative Models of Intra-household Allocation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Several models of intra-household decision making have been suggested in the literature. One important dichotomy is between non-cooperative and cooperative models (including speci…c models of bargaining). The other im-portant distinction is between models that allow for caring and those that do not. We present a framework that includes all suggested models and vari-ants as special cases. We derive the theoretical predictions of these models for the relationship between expenditures on goods and the intra-household distribution of income. We estimate and test between these relationships using Canadian household expenditure data. We conclude that there is ev-idence that both husbands and wives care for each other in the sense that with an unequal distribution of incomes the high income partner behaves as a ‘Becker dictator ’ and there is local income pooling. We further …nd that for about half of the households in our sample (those with more equal incomes) a re-distribution of income would lead to changes in budget allo-cations. We conclude that the data are consistent with a collective model with caring partners. ¤We gratefully acknowledge the contribution of Wasif Rasheed to the research presented

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
