This paper develops a lifecycle collective model of the household, through which it characterises behaviour in three prominent alternative types of commitment: full, limited, and no commitment. We propose a test that distinguishes between all three types based on how contemporaneous and historical news affect household behaviour. Our test permits heterogeneity in the degree of commitment across households. Using recent data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we reject full and no commitment, while we find strong evidence for limited commitment. info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Velilla, Jorge Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0553-6360 Chiappori, Pierre-André Giménez-Nadal, J Ignacio Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-1610-5451 Molina, José Alberto Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9437-4606 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
