在最近的一篇论文中，Chiappori（1992）扩展并解释了他早期关于家庭劳动力供给“集体模型”的重要工作（Chiappori 1988）。家庭被建模为一对具有不同效用函数的个体，在给定他们所面临的市场工资率的情况下，他们达到了个人消费和劳动力供给的帕累托有效配置。他表明，家庭的决策可以建模为，好像个人首先分享他们的非工资收入，然后在单独的预算约束下最大化他们的个人效用。然后，他使用这种方法来表明，该模型产生了对个人劳动供给的可检验的限制，对个人劳动供给（或同等地，休闲需求）函数的估计足以允许恢复共享规则的偏导数，福利分析的标准工具可以用来调查诸如税收变化对个人福利的影响等问题。我们非常赞同恰波里的信念，即保留个人作为家庭决策分析单位的重要性。
In a recent paper, Chiappori (1992) extends and interprets his important earlier work (Chiappori 1988) on the" collective model" of household labor supply. The household is modeled as a pair of individuals with distinct utility functions, who arrive at a Pareto-efficient allocation of individual consumptions and labor supplies given the market wage rates they face. He shows that the household's decisions can be modeled as though the individuals first shared their combined nonwage income and then maximized their individual utilities subject to separate budget constraints. He then uses this approach to show that the model yields testable restrictions on individual labor supplies, that estimation of individual labor supply (or, equivalently, leisure demand) functions is sufficient to allow recovery of the partial derivatives of the sharing rule, and that standard tools of welfare analysis can be used to investigate such issues as, for example, the effects of tax changes on individual welfares. We very much share Chiappori's belief in the importance of retaining the individual as the unit of analysis of household decisions.
