Sibling Rivalry and Strategic Parental Transfers: A Comment


Abstract:

This note shows that Proposition 5 in Chang and Weisman (Southern Economic Journal 71(4): 821-36) contains a mistake. While not affecting the paper's basic intuition, our result shows that the parental transfer under the noncooperative game could be less than under the cooperative one if the children oversupply family services.
