But the weights are assumed fixed or exogenous to the analysis. The authors extend the collective approach by proposing and estimating a framework where the weights are determined and simultaneously estimated with the household outcomes. The authors present Nepalese evidence that suggests that a woman's share of household earnings understates her "power" in making household decisions. An increase in the woman's educational experience leads to a rise in her bargaining power. The results also reveal some interesting nonmonotonic relationships between a woman's "power" and the household's expenditure outcomes. 2013-08-06T15:28:43Z 2013-08-06T15:28:43Z 2002-03 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2002/03/1752443/estimating-endogenously-determined-intrahousehold-balance-power-impact-expenditure-pattern-evidence-nepal http://hdl.handle.net/10986/14815 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No.2814 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, D.C.
