Abstract

ABSTRACT Intrahousehold models assume that plots farmed by women are as productive as plots farmed by men within the same household. Using a large plot-level dataset on rice farming households in India, we find evidence of significant Pareto inefficiency: women’s plots produce lower yields compared to their spouse’s plots, conditional on crop, plot and other attributes. The inefficiency is larger in the left tail of the rice yield distribution and primarily attributed to child-care burdens and social-norms faced by women.

家庭内部分配的帕累托效率：来自印度水稻种植家庭的证据

家庭内部模型假设在同一家庭中，女性耕种的土地与男性耕种的土地一样多产。利用印度稻农家庭的大型地块数据集，我们发现了显著的帕累托低效率的证据:与配偶的地块相比，女性的地块产量更低，这取决于作物、地块和其他属性。在水稻产量分布的左尾，这种低效率更大，主要归因于妇女面临的育儿负担和社会规范。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
