生育选择的经济理论主要建立在家庭的单一模型上，其中存在单一的家庭效用函数，并且潜在的家庭内部分歧被抽象出来。然而，经验证据表明，许多（潜在的）母亲和父亲在是否要孩子、要生几个孩子以及何时要孩子方面存在分歧。在本文中，我们回顾了将家庭内部冲突和讨价还价模型影响生育选择的现有工作，并指出了这一研究领域有希望的未来方向。
The economic theory of fertility choice builds predominantly on the unitary model of the household, in which there is a single household utility function and potential intra-household disagreement is abstracted from. Empirical evidence suggests, however, that many (potential) mothers and fathers disagree on whether to have children, on how many children to have, and on when to have them. In this paper, we review existing work that brings models of intrahousehold conflict and bargaining to bear on fertility choice, and we point out promising future directions for this line of research.
