Rational Consumer Notation
P – Preferred I – Indifferent A, B, C, etc. Represent Bundles of
goods
Rule 1- More is preferred to less

Consumption area improved by joining households
Areas that are lost by joining

So what will they consume?
As Individuals And as compared with a joint
household It will depend on the individual
indifference curves And their indifference curves as a
household

Alternatives Substitution in Production
Some goods can be produced by Using goods intensive technique
For example, hiring someone to clean the house for you
Using time intensive technique For example, cleaning house yourself
![Page 19: Allocation Between the Household and the Labor Market](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56815a66550346895dc7b2d4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Alternatives Substitution in Consumption
Goods intensive to produce Goods using large amount of market
goods and little nonmarket time Going out to eat Vacation
Goods using large amount of time (time intensive goods)
Raising kids

Indifference Curves in Labor Market
On the vertical axis are the market goods
On the horizontal axis there is the number of hours that could be dedicated to market time
Budget constrain is based on the wage one would get and the number of hours worked
