There are negative cross-effects of retirement on …

Intra-household wealth and welfare inequality in the US : estimations from a collective model of labor supply
Molina, José Alberto; Gimenez-Nadal, José Ignacio; … - 2018
This paper analyzes the intra-household distribution of wealth and welfare in the United States, within a theoretical framework based on a collective model of labor supply, where household decisions are Pareto efficient, and spouses negotiate a sharing rule for non-labor income. Using the...

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...

Couples' time-use and aggregate labor market outcomes
Balleer, Almut; Merz, Monika; Papp, Tamás K. - 2021
We present a model of the time-allocation decision of spouses in order to study the role of heterogeneity in preferences and wages for couples' labor supply. Spouses differ in their tastes for market consumption and non-market goods and activities, and also in their offered or earned wages. They...

Intrahousehold commitment and intertemporal labor supply
Chiappori, Pierre-André; Gimenez-Nadal, José Ignacio; … - 2020
This paper studies household labor supply, within the context of an intertemporal collective model, and three prominent intrahousehold commitment regimes: full commitment, no commitment, and limited commitment. We propose a test that distinguishes among all three alternatives based on how...

Endogeneous household interaction
Del Boca, Daniela; Flinn, Christopher J. - 2009
Most econometric models of intrahousehold behavior assume that household decision-making is efficient, i.e., utility realizations lie on the Pareto frontier. In this paper we investigate this claim by adding a number of participation constraints to the household allocation problem. Short-run...

Economic consequences of mispredicting utility
Frey, Bruno S.; Stutzer, Alois - 2013
In a simple conceptual framework, we organize a multitude of phenomena related to the (mis)prediction of utility. Consequences in terms of distorted choices and lower wellbeing emerge if people have to trade-off between alternatives that are characterized by attributes satisfying extrinsic...

Parental disability and teenagers' time allocation
Kalenkoski, Charlene; Pabilonia, Sabrina Wulff - 2021
Using the 2003-2019 American Time Use Survey, we examine how living with a parent who has a work-limiting disability is related to teenagers' time allocation. For girls, we find that living with a disabled parent is associated with less time spent on educational activities, including both class...
