Following the framework of our model of intimate partner violence, suppose we have a scenario where the wife prefers violence and controls the resources, and the man prefers safety and relies on transfers from his wife. The following are their utility functions and the resource constraints: The woman's utility function, where v represents violence and c represents consumption for the woman: U (v, c) = 4vc The man's utility function, where s represents safety and t represents transfers to the man: Um (s, t) = 2st The mans reservation utility: m = 4 The resource constraints: v+s 2 = c+t=4 What is the equilibrium value of v? What is the equilibrium value of s? What is the equilibrium value of c? What is the equilibrium value of t? What is the total utility that the woman receives in equilibrium? What is the total utility that the man receives in equilibrium?

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

Answer To find the equilibrium values we need to maximize the utility functions of both the woman and the man subject to their resource constraints Le... View the full answer
