Abstract
This paper estimates a household model where both the production and consumption
sides are observed. The household activities produce both marketable
and nonmarketable products. Family members consume market goods, domestically
produced goods and leisure. This household equilibrium model is described
within a collective framework. The data are from a nation-wide sample of Italian
farm-households. The estimation is implemented using a generalized Heckman estimator
to account for corner solutions generated by the fact that not all households
are engaged in all enterpreneurial activities and do not consume some of all goods
and leisure. The identification of the sharing rule stems from the assignability of
clothing consumption and leisure.
