1 Correction to: Eurasian Econ Rev https://doi.org/10.1007/s40822-018-0091-7
When we published this article, the Assumption 1 on page 4 contained an error: while the preceding paragraph stated:
Mother’s autonomy or the degree of empowerment is captured by making the parameters of the utility function dependent on mother’s autonomy coefficient \( \alpha \) such that \( 0 \le \alpha < 1. \) Specifically, \( \gamma = \gamma \left( \alpha \right) \) and \( \delta = \delta \left( \alpha \right) \) where \( 0 < \gamma \left( \alpha \right) < 1 \) and \( 0 < \delta \left( \alpha \right) < 1 \) are the utility elasticities with respect to \( H_{C} \) and \( G \), respectively.
The following Assumption stated the contrary:
Assumption 1
\( \gamma '(\alpha ) > 0 \) and \( \delta '(\alpha ) > 0 \)
This mistake happened during typesetting and sadly remained unnoticed.
Assumption 1 should read correctly:
Assumption 1
\( \gamma '(\alpha ) > 0 \) and \( \delta '(\alpha ) < 0 \)
The article has been updated. The publisher apologises for this mistake.
