Gender-bias in India: the importance of household fixed-effects.
An analysis of gender patterns in intra-household allocation of resources is presented. The analysis is based on household-level consumption data. Drawing on the assumption that households attempt to equalize the marginal utility of wealth when they allocate resources over the life cycle, a ration...

The analysis is based on household-level consumption data. Drawing on the assumption that households attempt to equalize the marginal utility of wealth when they allocate resources over the life cycle, a rationale for parental behavior pertaining to the intertemporal allocation of goods among children is provided. The importance of controlling for the unobserved marginal utility, or household-fixed, effect is demonstrated by estimation results drawn from Indian panel data. It is concluded that, once allowance is made for fixed effects, findings reveal that any gender-differential in the allocation of resources is removed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
