Abstract

We study decision-making in dairy farming households in Senegal and investigate respondents' perceptions of why a particular person made the decision. Using vignettes, we ask respondents how similar they are to five types of households. We analyze how the identity of the decisionmaker and the rationale for decision-making are related to milk production, hemoglobin levels among children, and satisfaction with decisions. We find that while male dictators achieve better outcomes than most decision-making structures, households in which husbands (wives) decide because they are most informed produce more milk than households in which husbands (wives) decide because they are dictators.

Abstract

• Moving beyond who decides, we use vignettes to identify why certain household members make decisions in rural Senegal. • Outcomes that appear to be related to the gender of the decision-maker are actually driven by decision-making typologies. • Households where the most informed men (women) decide produce more milk than those in which men (women) make all decisions. • Children of women who decide because they are most informed have more hemoglobin than those whose mothers make all decisions.
