Abstract
On the basis of a simple stylized neoclassical model, this paper attempts to define the concept of intra-household rent-seeking behavior. The intra-household rent is determined within the intra-household market for "patriarchal goods." The paper shows that inefficient rent-seeking behavior can explain marginalization of women as economic growth increases men's real income. The model may be used to understand why women's household work may have a lower perceived value in some households.
