What determines female autonomy? Evidence from Bangladesh (2009, background): “(1994), Hodinott and Haddad (1995), Gray(1998), Lundberg et al. (1997) and Thomas (1994), among others.”
Are Cash Transfers Made to Women Spent Like Other Sources of Income (2007, background): “On the other hand, Hotchkiss (2005) shows that childless couples, who were unaffected by the reform, also had large increases in expenditures on women’s clothing,”
Sharing of Resources Within the Family and the Economics of Household Decision Making (2013, background): “(1997) as relating to intrahousehold rather than external shifts in spending patterns has been questioned (Hotchkiss, 2005).”
The Optimal Income Taxation of Couples (2006, unknown): “For example, the influential study of Lundberg et al. (1997) demonstrated that giving a child allowance directly to the mother instead of to the main income earner as a reduction in withheld taxes significantly increases spending on children.”
Welfare Dynamics under Time Limits (2003, result): “Rather, they began leaving substantially earlier, consistent with our earlier interpretation of the fullsample results.”
Efficient Intra-Household Allocations and Distribution Factors: Implications and Identification (2006, background): “…condition is an immediate generalization of the “income pooling” hypothesis, which has been tested (and rejected) by, for example, Schultz (1990), Thomas (1990), Bourguignon et al. (1993), Browning et al. (1994), Fortin and Lacroix (1997), Phipps and Burton (1998), and Lundberg et al. (1997).”
Intrahousehold Welfare in Rural Ethiopia (2009, unknown): “Revisiting the same evidence, Hotchkiss (2005) nds di¤erent results and concludes that the data cannot reject either the income pooling or bargaining models.”
Labor market opportunities and women's decision making power within households (2016, background): “…of non-labor income (when it is randomly distributed among households that are similar otherwise), some studies have looked at the effects of increases in women’s non-labor income on the allocation of resources within households (e.g. Lundberg et al. 1997; Attanasio and Lechene 2002; Bobonis 2009).”
Marital disruption and economic well‐being: a comparative analysis (2007, unknown): “First, the use of equivalence scales assumes that household members share their income equally, which is not necessarily the case in practice (Browning et al., 1994; Lundberg et al., 1997; McElroy and Horney, 1981).”
