| Abstract: | In this paper, a collective model of leisure demand, generalized to the production of a household (here as: h-h.) public good, is estimated on the British Household Panel Survey. The sharing rule is identified by using an original framework based on the family status change: from single-living (here as: s-l.) to couple (as: cp.) or from cp. to s-l. Womens' ratios of private h-h. expenditures are 40 percent on average (as: on-av.). The level of intra-h-h. inequality appears highly dependent on the intra-h-h. wage gap. Omitting h-h. production would over-estimate the ratio by 7 percentage points on-av. |
