Household economies of scale, food consumption and intra-household allocation of time
… behavior. Larger households economize money and time by sharing expenses and specializing labor within and outside of the home. A “paradox” arises when the budget share of food declines with household size in the consumer expenditure survey data contradicting the Barten model prediction that per …
