如何在家庭内部分配来自发展或社会项目的资源对家庭福利很重要。家庭内部资源分配不仅取决于谁获得和分配资源,还取决于资源是否向其他家庭成员披露。在坦桑尼亚农村的父系社会中,就像我们在本研究中选择的那样,我们期望披露可用资源对女性分配决策的影响比对丈夫的影响更大。为了验证这一点,我们对坦桑尼亚农村的664对夫妇进行了选择实验。每个配偶在自己、配偶和子女之间分配一笔假想的钱。我们随机选择他们是否被告知这些资源会被透露给配偶。我们发现女性比她们的丈夫更强烈地回应披露。资源的公开使妇女增加了分配给配偶的份额,减少了留给自己的份额,但没有改变分配给子女的份额。这种披露效应在有控制型丈夫的女性和从丈夫那里接受转移的女性中更强,但随着配偶信任度的提高而减弱。
How resources from development or social programs are allocated within the household is important for household welfare. Intra-household resource allocation does not only depend on who receives and allocates the resources, but also on whether the resources are disclosed to other household members. In patrilineal societies in rural Tanzania, like the one we selected for this study, we expect disclosure of the available resources to have a stronger effect on women’s allocation decisions than on their husbands’. To test this, we use a choice experiment with 664 couples in rural Tanzania. Each spouse allocates a hypothetical sum of money between themselves, their spouse, and their children. We randomize whether they are told to assume that these resources are disclosed to their spouse. We find that women respond more strongly to disclosure than their husbands. Disclosure of the resources makes women increase the share allocated to their spouse and reduce the share kept to themselves but does not change the share allocated to their children. This disclosure effect is stronger among women with a controlling husband and women who receive transfers from their husband but gets weaker with higher spousal trust.
