Lampietti, Julian A. | Poulus, Christine | Cropper, Maureen L. | Mitiku, Haile | Whittington, Dale
This paper examines how demand for preventive health care differs depending on whose preferences in the household are assessed. The analysis indicates that married women are willing to pay more to prevent malaria in their household malaria than married men. There are, however, no significant differences in the rate at which male and female respondents substitute teenagers and children for adults when choosing an optimal amount of malaria prevention for their household. A new test of the 'common preference' hypothesis is presented.
