制定了一个模型，将营养、劳动力市场生产率、健康异质性以及自给经济中家庭内部粮食分配和工作活动之间的联系纳入其中。基于孟加拉国家庭样本的实证结果表明，尽管家庭内部在卡路里消费方面存在相当大的差异，但家庭反对不平等。此外，与模型一致的是，结果还表明，男性消耗的卡路里相对于女性的水平更高和差异更大，在一定程度上反映了男性更多地参与生产力对健康状况敏感的活动。版权归美国经济协会所有。
A model is formulated incorporating linkages among nutrition, labor-market productivity, health heterogeneity, and the intrahousehold distribution of food and work activities in a subsistence economy. Empirical results, based on a sample of households from Bangladesh, indicate that, despite considerable intrahousehold disparities in calorie consumption, households are averse to inequality. Furthermore, consistent with the model, the results also indicate that both the higher level and greater variance in the calories consumed by men relative to women reflect in part the greater participation by men in activities in which productivity is sensitive to health status.
