Abstract

Microeconomic models imply that a sexual division of labor is optimal within ?cooperative? families. This paper questions the assumption that household decisions are made cooperatively. Then, it proposes a non cooperative model to study intra-household allocation of time. Within this model, non specialization can be more and more often optimal when the relative cost of specialization and the divorce probability rise. Classification JEL : D1, J22
