This paper provides insights into the welfare gains of forming a couple by estimating how much of the difference in housework time between single and married individuals is causal and how much is due to selection. Using longitudinal data from Australia, UK and US, we find that selection into...

Economic incentives, home production and gender identity norms

Ichino, Andrea; Olsson, Martin; Petrongolo, Barbara; … - 2019

We infer the role of gender identity norms from the reallocation of childcare across parents, following changes in their relative wages. By exploiting variation from a Swedish tax reform, we estimate the elasticity of substitution in parental childcare for the whole population and for...

Child penalties and the gender gap in home production and the labor market

Koopmans, Pim; Lent, Max van; Been, Jim - 2024

The consequence of the arrival of children for the gender wage gap - known as the child penalty - is substantial and has been documented for many countries. Little is still known about the impact of having children beyond paid work in the labor market, such as home production. In this paper we...

The time and timing costs of market work, and their implications for retirement

Hamermesh, Daniel S. (contributor) - 2006

Retirement ages among older Americans have only recently begun to increase after a precipitous fifty-year decline. Early retirement may result from incentives provided by retirement systems; but it may also result from the rigidities imposed by market work schedules. Using the American Time Use...

On the importance of household production in collective models : evidence from U.S. data

Donni, Olivier; Matteazzi, Eleonora - 2010

The present paper develops a theoretical model of labor supply with domestic production. It is shown that the structural components of the model can be identified without a distribution factor, thereby generalizing the initial results of Apps and Rees (1997) and Chiappori (1997). The theoretical...

Apps, Patricia; Rees, Ray - 2001

Household production, full consumption and the costs of children

Apps, Patricia; Rees, Ray - 2000

Recent work criticises both the logic and relevance of the theoretical basis of the approach to estimating the costs of raising children adopted in much of the economics literature. This tends to be restricted purely to models in which the household members consume market goods with given...

A gift of time

Kawaguchi, Daiji; Lee, Jungmin; Hamermesh, Daniel S. - 2012

How would people spend time if confronted by permanent declines in market work? We identify preferences off exogenous cuts in legislated standard hours that raised employers' overtime costs in Japan around 1990 and Korea in the early 2000s. Using time-diaries from before and after these shocks,...
