Consistent with the Nash bargaining model, this report presents empirical estimates of a linear expenditure system. A three commodity system is presented along with the different tests that this expenditure system collapses to a neoclassical one. As a result, the authors found some evidence that the model does not collapse to the neoclassical one. This research and other studies mentioned in this paper, mark only the beginning of evaluating empirical payoff to a bargaining approach.

The purpose of this study is to explore the employed search behavior of young women....The data for this analysis come from the 1980, 1984, and 1996 waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79). Using information on employed job search from all three years, we estimate a series of models: i) a binary probit model of employed search for each year; ii) a random-effects probit model that accounts for unobservable preferences for employed search; and, iii) an ordered probit model measuring the intensity of search by young women.
