【摘要】本论文通过对四川盐源县彝族人的研究尝试探讨现代彝族家庭内劳动分工情况,包括对家务劳动,农业生产劳动,以及非农业生产劳动的分工。
假设每个家庭成员都是劳动生产者,通过二元垄断Stackelberg平衡分析,尝试解释在“家庭成员对资讯掌握程度不同”对“家庭成员之间劳动分工”的影响。本论文第二步为了补充Stackelberg平衡分析的不足而进行了一系列的外因分析,包括:社会,政治以及彝族风俗习惯对家庭成员行为的影响。
本论文第三部分是通过成本效益分析来证明:每个家庭成员都是平衡其个人的成本、效益来决定自我的劳动参与量的,但女性在此过程中的社会成本通常都会高于她们的社会效益。

Abstract
This paper explores gendered differences the intrahousehold
bargaining relationship on determining labor division between
men, women and children on household reproductive work,
on-farm production and off-farm production in one village
in Yanyuan County, Sichuan. Treating each individual of
the household as a producer of labor, a duopoly Stackelberg
equilibrium analysis is used as a partial explanation to
the interpersonal negotiations under two circumstances:
perfect information and asymmetric information. The latter
half of this paper considers the exogenous effects such
as socio-political factors and customary Yi traditions that
may play a role in determining the actions of each individual
and finds. Through a cost-benefit analysis, this exercise
suggests that individuals regardless of gender choose to
optimize workload where private costs are close to or equal
to private benefit, but social costs for women are likely
to be much higher than social benefit.
Keywords: gender─economics─Yi─division of labor─Stackelberg
equilibrium─homo economics
