“…Their results support other research in that educational attainment is a signifi cant predictor as to who decides and the presence of children in the home and home ownership have a positive effect on charitable decision making. In general, research has found that, in terms of decision making over charitable giving, the greater the share of household resources and the more the education, the greater the infl uence a partner has over the other (i.e., Pahl, 1983 ;Volger, 2005 ;Andreoni et al ., 2003 ;Wiepking and Bekkers, 2006 ).…”

“…Generally, there are three broad styles of collective models found in the economics literature, each predicting different ways in which marriage partners reach expenditure decisions (e.g., Pahl, 1983Pahl, , 1995Phipps and Burton, 1998 ;Brown, 2005 ;Volger, 2005 ). Under an income pooling model , a married couple can make decisions as if it were a single individual economic unit, where the couple " thinks as one. "…”

Using data from the Center on Philanthropy Panel Study and the Panel Study on Income Dynamics, we analyzed whether husbands or wives were more likely to determine whether and how much money to donate to educational institutions. Among donor households, we are able to examine what socio-economic-demographic factors explain differences in whether men or women are more likely to decide to give to educational institutions. We also compare the

“…Research on money management, beginning with Pahl's (1983) study on financial management systems in English households, is essential for an understanding of intra-household inequality, as money management relates to access to household resources, financial decision-making and power (Pahl, 1983(Pahl, , 1989Vogler and Pahl, 1994). As a result of unequal money management systems, women often have less access to personal spending money, restricted consumption and less power (Burgoyne, 1990;Pahl, 1995;Nyman, 1999).…”

Conservative welfare state policies as in Germany often presume that money is a common resource within couples and, therefore, pooled. Research, however, indicates that money is increasingly managed separately or partly separately. This trend is either explained by the diversification of forms of relationships or interpreted as a general decline of the joint pooling of money. Contributing to this debate, this study investigates whether couples abandon independent money management when particular life events occur or when partners’ resources change. Data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) for the years 2004, 2005 and 2008 are used. Panel analyses show that marriage leads to joint pooling or partly independent money management. An increase in women's incomes, however, is associated with independent money management. Women's wish for independence apparently contributes to the decline of the joint pool. The substantial prevalence of financial independence within couples calls into doubt the adequacy of German welfare state policies.

This series presents research findings based either directly on data from the German SocioEconomic Panel Study (SOEP) or using SOEP data as part of an internationally comparable data set (e.g. CNEF, ECHP, LIS, LWS, CHER/PACO). SOEP is a truly multidisciplinary household panel study covering a wide range of social and behavioral sciences: economics, sociology, psychology, survey methodology, econometrics and applied statistics, educational science, political science, public health, behavioral genetics, demography, geography, and sport science.

AbstractThe rise in female labor market participation and the growth of "atypical" employment arrangements has, over the last few decades, brought about a steadily decreasing percentage of households in which the man is the sole breadwinner, and a rising percentage of dual-earner households. Against this backdrop, the present paper investigates how household contexts in which the traditional "male breadwinner" model still exists or has already been challenged affect individuals' subjective evaluations of the justice of their personal earnings. In the first step we derive three criteria used by individuals to evaluate the fairness or justice of their personal earnings: compensation for services rendered, coverage of basic needs, and the opportunity to earn social approval. In the second step, we apply considerations from household economics and new approaches from gender research to explain why men's and women's evaluations of justice are determined to a considerable degree by the specific situation within their household. The assumptions derived regarding gender-specific patterns in justice att...
