本文探讨了夫妻之间如何分配生产性资产的控制权和转移权。理论预测，婚姻中的议价能力取决于离婚时的资产分割和婚姻期间对资产的控制。使用详细的家庭数据，从埃塞俄比亚农村，我们表明，资产带来的婚姻，资产所有权，婚姻内的控制，并在死亡或离婚时处置只有部分相关。生产资源由户主控制。死亡或离婚后的处置仅松散地取决于婚姻期间的个人所有权，但控制权与离婚后的更大要求有关。结婚时带来的财产对死亡后的处置影响不大，但在离婚时很重要。
This article investigates how the control and devolution of productive assets are allocated between husband and wife. Theory predicts that bargaining power within marriage depends on the division of assets upon divorce and on control over assets during marriage. Using detailed household data from rural Ethiopia, we show that assets brought to marriage, ownership of assets, control within marriage, and disposition upon death or divorce are only partly related. Productive resources are controlled by the household head. Disposition upon death or divorce only loosely depends on individual ownership during marriage but control is associated with larger claims upon divorce. Assets brought into marriage have little impact on disposition upon death, but matter in case of divorce.
