摘要 本文表明，菲律宾家庭中临时国际移民工人汇款的家庭内分配存在异质性，这可能是由于配偶不在场（表明道德风险）以及户主的性别和教育程度（表明偏好差异）造成的。 GLM 估计和后估计测试显示，男性户主在酒精和烟草上的支出更多，家庭中女性决策者的存在增加了对改善儿童福利的商品的分配，而受过较少正规教育的户主在教育上的分配更多。
ABSTRACT This article shows that heterogeneity in the intrahousehold allocation of remittances sent by temporary international migrant workers exists among households in the Philippines, and may be attributable to the absence of the spouse, suggesting moral hazard, and to the gender and educational attainment of the household head, indicating differences in preferences. GLM estimates and post-estimation tests reveal that male heads spend more on alcohol and tobacco, that the presence of a female decision-maker in a household increases allocations to goods that improve the welfare of the children, and that household heads with less formal education allocate more to education.
