A Wage-Efficiency Spatial Model for US Self-Employed Workers

Giménez, José Ignacio - 2016

In this paper, we study self-employment in a theoretical setting derived from wage-efficiency spatial models, where leisure and effort at work are complementary. We develop a spatial model of self-employment in which effort at work and commuting are negatively related, and thus the probability...

Spatial Distribution of US Employment in an Urban Wage-Efficiency Setting

Giménez, José Ignacio - 2016

In this paper, we analyze the spatial distribution of US employment and earnings against an urban wage … relationship between individual earnings and commuting and leisure. Our empirical results show that employment is mostly … concentrated in metropolitan cores, and that earnings increase with "expected" commuting time, which gives empirical support to our …

Should We Cheer Together? Gender Differences in Instantaneous Well-Being During Joint and Solo Activities

Giménez, José Ignacio - 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has confined millions in their homes, representing an unprecedented case for spending more time together with family members. This situation is a challenge for households, given that more time with the partner or children may not necessarily translate into increased...

Intra-Household Wealth and Welfare Inequality in the US : Estimations from a Collective Model of Labor Supply

Molina, Jose Alberto - 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...

Entrepreneurship Among Low-, Mid- and High-Income Workers in South America : A Fuzzy-Set Analysis

Velilla, Jorge - 2020

This paper studies the reasons underlying the entrepreneurial decisions of low-, middle-, and high-income workers in South America. Using data from the GEM APS for the period 2005-2017, we apply fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis, allowing us to find causal links in the form of necessary...

Intrahousehold Commitment and Intertemporal Labor Supply

Chiappori, Pierre-Andre - 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...

Intertemporal Labor Supply and Intra-Household Commitment

Chiappori, Pierre-Andre - 2019

This paper adopts an intertemporal labor supply perspective to propose a test that allows us to distinguish between intra-household non-commitment, limited commitment, and full commitment. It investigates whether, after controling for current and future (expected) wages, past wage shocks have a...

Commuting Time and Sex Ratios in the US

Giménez, José Ignacio - 2016

In this paper, we analyze the relationship between potential worker supply, measured through sex ratios, and commuting times in the United States. Using the American Time Use Survey 2003-2014, we analyze the relationship between commuting times and sex ratios by state and age, and show that the...

Intertemporal Labor Supply : A Household Collective Approach

Molina, Jose Alberto - 2018

This paper proposes an extension of the collective model for labor supply developed by Chiappori, Fortin and Lacroix (2002) to an intertemporal setting. We first develop a theoretical model to analyze the intra-household distribution of wealth in a multi-period framework, with a focus on labor...

Telework, the Timing of Work, and Instantaneous Well-Being : Evidence from Time Use Data

Giménez, José Ignacio - 2018

In this paper, we analyze the time allocation decisions of teleworkers, and compare them with their commuter counterparts. Using data from the American Time Use Survey for the years 2003 to 2015, we analyze the time spent working, the timing of work, and the instant enjoyment experienced while...
