Measuring and Changing Control: Women's Empowerment and Targeted Transfers (2016, positive): “Consistent with this evidence, models of intra-household resource allocation that depart from the unitary framework (according to which the household can be considered as a decision unit with a well defined and fixed objective function) by and large imply that changing the control of resources resul”
