Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a household where partners bargain with each other, expenditures patterns are more likely to favor the partner making the most income, even when controlling for household income. This is because the partner with more income has more bargaining power and can influence the decision-making process in their favor. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Options A and B are not necessarily true in all cases since there are many other factors that can influence these outcomes. Option D is also incorrect as there are likely to be differences in decision-making processes and outcomes between households where partners bargain versus where one partner makes all the decisions.
