Intrahousehold Allocation and Gender Relations: New Empirical Evidence from Four Developing Countries

Content Provider	Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR)
Author	Quisumbing, Agnes R. Maluccio, John A.
Description	Most economic research treats the household as a single agent, assuming that individuals within the household share the same preferences or that there is a household “head” who has the final say. This simple framework has proved immensely useful; despite a common misperception, it can explain many differences in well-being or consumption patterns within households. Nonetheless, recent empirical research demonstrates that this “unitary” household model is inappropriate in a variety of settings in both developed and developing countries (see Haddad, Hoddinott, and Alderman 1997 for reviews).
