It's all about Connections: Evidence on Network Formation
Falk, Armin; Kosfeld, Michael - 2003
We present an economic experiment on network formation, in which subjects can decide to form links to one another. Direct links are costly but being connected is valuable. The gametheoretic basis for our experiment is the model of Bala and Goyal (2000). They distinguish between two scenarios...

Household Behavior and the Marriage Market
Del Boca, Daniela; Flinn, Christopher - 2013
There is some controversy in the field of household economics regarding the efficiency of household decisions. We make the point that a flexible specification of spousal preferences and the household production technology precludes the possibility of using revealed preference data on household...

Household time allocation and modes of behavior: a theory of sorts
Del Boca, Daniela; Flinn, Christopher J. - 2005
We develop a simple model of household time allocation decisions under strong functional form assumptions regarding preferences and household production technology. We argue that the specification is general when allowing for unrestrictive forms of population heterogeneity in the parameters...

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...

Patterns of Time Use among Older People
Ferranna, Maddalena; Sevilla, J.P.; Zucker, Leo; Bloom, … - 2022
We analyze time use studies to describe how people allocate their time as they age, especially among paid work, unpaid work, leisure, and personal care. We emphasize differences in time allocation between older (i.e., those aged 65+) and younger people; between developed and developing countries;...

Housework Share between Partners: Experimental Evidence on Gender Identity
Auspurg, Katrin; Iacovou, Maria; Nicoletti, Cheti - 2014
Using an experimental design, we investigate the reasons behind the gendered division of housework within couples. In … particular, we assess whether the fact that women do more housework may be explained by differences in preferences deriving from … preference for housework, suggesting that the reasons for the gendered division of housework lie elsewhere. …
