我们使用z条件需求，在墨西哥农村大规模有条件现金转移计划的背景下，估计并测试了家庭消费集体模型的限制。该模型可以解释计划对食品消费结构的影响。我们使用了两个看似合理且新颖的分配因素：对女性的现金转移的随机分配，以及丈夫“S和妻子”S家庭网络的相对规模和财富。我们的结构比另一种单一的结构更能预测家庭收入外生增长的影响。我们不能拒绝家庭决策的效率。
We estimate and test the restrictions of a collective model of household consumption, using z-conditional demands, in the context of a large conditional cash transfer program in rural Mexico. The model can explain the impacts of the program on the structure of food consumption. We use two plausible and novel distribution factors: the random allocation of a cash transfer to women and the relative size and wealth of the husband''s and wife''s family networks. Our structure does better at predicting the effect of exogenous increases in household income than an alternative, unitary, structure. We cannot reject efficiency of household decisions.
