我们提供一般集体消费模型的“显示偏好”测试，该模型考虑了公共消费和家庭内部的外部性。我们进一步提出了一种新方法来模拟该模型的特殊情况，这意味着关于共享规则的替代假设。我们的应用程序使用俄罗斯纵向监测调查的面板数据。我们发现一般模型和一大类特殊情况是不能被拒绝的。相比之下，我们确实拒绝标准的单一模型。由于我们的测试完全是非参数的，这为支持专注于家庭内部决策的模型提供了强有力的证据。
We provide “revealed preference” tests of general collective consumption models that account for public consumption and externalities within the household. We further propose a novel approach to model special cases of this model, which imply alternative assumptions regarding the sharing rule. Our application uses the panel data from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey. We find that the general model, together with a large class of special cases, cannot be rejected. By contrast, we do reject the standard unitary model. Since our tests are entirely nonparametric, this provides strong evidence in favor of models focusing on intrahousehold decision making.
