Married with children: A collective labor supply model with detailed time use and intrahousehold expenditure information

We propose a collective labor supply model with household production that generalizes an original model of Blundell, Chiappori and Meghir (2005). In our model, adults' individual preferences do not only depend on own leisure and individual private consumption of market goods. They also depend on...

Nobody to Play With? The Implications of Leisure Coordination

Jenkins, Stephen P.; Osberg, Lars - 2003

We hypothesize that an individual?s time use choices are contingent on the time use choices of others because the utility derived from leisure time often benefits from the presence of companionable others inside and outside the household. We develop a model of time use, and demonstrate that its...
