%0 Report %A Apps, Patricia %A Rees, Ray %T Cooperative Household Models %D 2007 %8 2007 Oct %I Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) %C Bonn %7 IZA Discussion Paper %N 3127 %U https://www.iza.org/index.php/publications/dp3127 %X We set out a general framework for cooperative household models, based on Samuelson's idea of a household welfare function, but extending it to incorporate the key insight from Nash bargaining models – the idea that the household’s preference ordering over the utility profiles of its members depends on their wage rates (or prices more generally) and non-wage incomes. Applying reasonable general restrictions on the effects of changes in these variables allows derivation of the general implications of cooperative models. %K generalisation %K household %K model
