家庭需求行为的McElroy-Horney nash议价模型放宽了夫妻双方的非劳动收入对家庭劳动力供给和商品需求具有相同影响的限制。基于1981年泰国社会经济调查，对新古典家庭行为模型的这种限制进行了检验，以确定夫妻劳动供给和生育率。新古典主义对女性劳动力供给和生育的限制被拒绝。由于完整婚姻的样本自我选择，家庭需求研究的另一个未开发的限制是通过替代估计策略进行经验处理。在这种情况下，需要一种更加集中的婚姻行为理论来确定家庭需求模型。
The McElroy-Horney Nash-bargaining model of family demand behavior relaxes the restriction that nonearned income of husband and wife had the identical effect on family labor supply and commodity demands. This restriction of the neoclassical model of family behavior is tested for the determination of husband and wife labor supply and fertility based on the 1981 Socioeconomic Survey of Thailand. The neoclassical restriction is rejected for female labor supply and fertility. Another unexplored limitation of family demand studies, due to the sample self selection of intact marriages, is empirically treated through alternative estimation strategies. In this case, a more sharply focused theory of marital behavior is needed to identify family demand models.
