abstract="In this paper we develop and estimate a model of domestic violence. We extend a noncooperative model of the family to include violence as a source of gratification and an instrument for controlling behavior. We estimate the model by robust methods since the violence process appears to have a heavy-tailed, nonnormal error distribution. We find that the properties of the equilibria depend on family income. For low/middle income families, our results indicate an equilibrium in which one person's reservation utility constraint is binding, whereas for higher income families both individuals may gain from the relationship.<p />",
