Test of resource pooling and test of effect of sex ratio in the marriage market on intrahousehold resource allocation are combined to test the unitary household model. The consistency condition between the two tests is derived to test the Nash household bargaining and Pareto-efficient household models. I examine intrahousehold resource allocation to children's nutrition and education in Indonesia. For children's nutrition, the unitary household model is rejected in favour of the non-unitary models. The results for investment in education are mixed. The decision-making process may differ depending on the type of decision being made. Copyright 2007 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
