Parental Childcare with Process Benefits
Most studies of time allocation in the household draw a sharp line between what is childcare and what is leisure. However, parental time may simultaneously produce welfare for the child and leisure‐like benefits (so‐called process benefits) for the caring parent. We use a flexible model, and its non‐parametric and semi‐parametric implications, to test and quantify these process benefits. Applied to Dutch consumption and time use data, the method …
Verbal aptitude hurts children's economic decision‐making accuracy
The impact of children's decision making increases with age and has relatively increased through time. Although a lot is known about cognitive development, less is known about how this development impacts decision accuracy in economic situations. This study builds on revealed preference theory to study the impact of cognitive aptitude on economic decision‐making accuracy and explores the intervening role of decision heuristics. In a study ( n = 1…
Group Consumption with Caring Individuals
We propose a novel approach to model joint consumption decisions of individuals who care for each other. The model encompasses a continuum of group consumption models situated between the fully co-operative model and the non-cooperative model without caring. We also define a measure for the degree of intragroup cooperation that quantifies how close the observed group behaviour is to fully co-operative behaviour. Following a revealed preference ap…
Nonparametric Welfare and Demand Analysis with Unobserved Individual Heterogeneity
This paper combines revealed preference and nonparametric estimation techniques to obtain nonparametric bounds on the distribution of the money metric utility and demand functions over a population of heterogeneous households. Our approach is independent of any functional specification on the household utility functions. Our method applies the weak axiom of revealed preference to a population of heterogeneous households. Although this does not pr…
