Maurizio Mazzocco is an Associate Professor at University of California, Los Angeles. Mazzocco's research focuses on household intertemporal decisions and decisions under uncertainty. A crucial assumption in the standard approach to modeling household decisions is that households behave as single individuals independently of the household structure. A large literature has provided evidence that this assumption is rejected by the data. Recent papers have developed static models in which households are characterized as a group of individuals making joint decisions.
