Measures of control over assets and participation in household decisions are often used as indicators of bargaining power. Yet spouses do not necessarily provide the same responses to questions about these topics. Using household survey data from Bangladesh, we examine differences in spouses’ answers to questions regarding women’s involvement as asset owners and decision makers and develop a model to understand what these differences tell us about household behavior. Disagreement is substantial and systematic; women are more likely than men to say that women own assets and are involved in decision-making. These patterns suggest the presence of asymmetric information in the household in the form of hidden assets or decisions. Finally, correlational analysis shows that when women claim their involvement but men do not include them, there is positive association with good outcomes for women but to a lesser extent than when husbands agree that their wives are involved.

控制资产和参与家庭决策的措施通常被用作议价能力的指标。然而，配偶不一定对有关这些主题的问题提供相同的回答。使用来自孟加拉国的家庭调查数据，我们研究了配偶对有关女性作为资产所有者和决策者参与的问题的回答的差异，并开发了一个模型来了解这些差异告诉我们关于家庭行为的什么。分歧是实质性和系统性的；女性比男性更有可能说女性拥有资产并参与决策。这些模式表明家庭中以隐藏资产或决策的形式存在不对称信息。最后，相关分析表明，当女性声称参与但男性不包括她们时，
