An Analysis of Intra-family Income Sharing from Subjective Data
Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2009.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Our article uses subjective data to study inequality within the family. We use a question on the individual income of each household member. We assume that the answer to the question gives reliable information on income-sharing in the household. Within the framework of a collective model that includes household production, and using the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS), we show that – as expected from the model– the spouses’ wage ratio is a main determinant of the difference in their answers to the income question. We also find a significant effect of the age difference between spouses.
