在本文中，它是测试是否增加儿童津贴将影响家庭内部的消费分配，衡量儿童和成人用品，保持家庭总资源不变。这项分析是根据在罗马尼亚收集的家庭调查数据进行的，在罗马尼亚，根据儿童的人数和年龄向家庭支付现金。选择性受到控制，因为在领取子女津贴的水平方面可能存在自我选择的偏见。研究结果表明，保持家庭总资源不变，儿童津贴增加了对儿童用品和热量的需求，减少了对成人用品的需求。
In this paper it is tested whether increasing child allowances will affect the intra-household allocation of consumption, measured by child and adult goods, holding total household resources constant. The analysis is based on household survey data collected in Romania, where cash payments are made to families according to the number and age of children. Selectivity is controled for since there is the potential for self-selection bias in terms of the level of child allowances received. The findings suggest that holding total household resources constant, child allowances increase demand for child goods and calories and reduce demand for adult goods.
