The aim of the contribution is to determine the main determinants of the formation of their productive components in consumption under the real conditions of the selected country, using the decision-making mechanism of the individual and of the households. The benefit of the article is in particular applied bonding and verification of the relation between the current theories and the practice that is realized through a questionnaire survey. By recognizing these determinants the partial decision-making issues will be clarified and it will open the space for the eventual desired behavior of household behavior in specific Slovak Republic conditions. The conclusions of the article point out that household decision-making is influenced by several factors in parallel, but psychological factors play a very important role. It is clear from the conclusions that Slovak households, by their decision, confirm theories of behavioral economists even when deciding on productive components in consumption.

The aim of the contribution is to point out the possible causes of changes and differences in the behavior of current households in the context of new consumption theories and current conditions by means of selected categories of net cash expenditure of households2 embodying the productive aspect of consumption. The monitored data is based primarily on Family Account Statistics for the period of 2010-2017. The benefit of this contribution is in particular the application and clarification of the links between the current theories and practice which helps to understand the economic behavior of households. The conclusions of the article point out that household decision-making is largely influenced by the economic situation of households, but also by other factors which we also deal with in the contribution. It is clear from the conclusions that Czech and Slovak households apply a different approach to expenditures on productive components of consumption, which in the long run will deepen the differences between countries. In the context of the evolving direction of the Behavioral Economy, it would be helpful to include the monitoring of psychological factors in Family Account Statistics.

Shed Light

Do working women enjoy greater levels of human agency? While the theoretical foundations underlying this connection are clear, the empirical evidence is quite mixed. We leverage detailed, new data on intra-household decision-making and labour market behaviour from four north Indian urban clusters to shed light on this question. We find that women who work exercise greater say in important decisions around the home. However, this ‘work advantage’ exhibits significant heterogeneity across decision types, decision-making domains, and definitions of work.
