Abstract

The paper applies the collective model to the analysis of intra-household inequalityusing self-reported income scales and provides a test for its assumptions. We assume acorrespondence between the income level that household members report and their trueincome sharing. Using Russian data, we first show that this assumption is supported by thedata, and then use couples who report the same level of income to identify the full sharingrule for the whole sample.
