The impact of home production on economic inequality in Germany

Frick, Joachim R.; Grabka, Markus M.; Groh-Samberg, Olaf - 2009

Using representative income and time use-data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), we estimate non-monetary income advantages arising from home production and analyse their impact on economic inequality. As an alternative to existing measures, we propose a predicted wage approach based...

Labor Supply, Home Production and Welfare Comparisons

Donni, Olivier - 2005

We consider the collective model of labor supply with marketable domestic production. We first show that, if domestic production is mistakenly ignored, the ?collective? indirect utilities that are retrieved from observed behavior will be unbiased if and only if the profit function is additive....

Labor Market Flows and Equilibrium Search Unemployment

Garibaldi, Pietro; Wasmer, Etienne - 2001

This paper explicitly differentiates between unemployment and inactivity, by defining inactivity as a state in which individuals do not search for jobs when non-employed. Facing changes in the value of inactivity, individuals transit through three labor market states. In steady-state, we hence...

Differences in US-German Time-Allocation: Why Do Americans Work Longer Hours than Germans?

Schettkat, Ronald - 2003

The conventional view is that Americans work longer hours than Germans and other Europeans but when time in household production is included, overall working time is very similar on both sides of the Atlantic. Americans spend more time on market work but German invest more in household...

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...

Household Saving and Full Consumption over the Life Cycle

Apps, Patricia; Rees, Ray - 2001

This paper extends the standard model of life cycle consumption, saving and labor supply in a number of directions. First, it argues that consumption should be defined as expenditure on household production as well as on market goods, that is, we are interested in life cycle profiles of full...

Unemployment, market work and household production

Burda, Michael C.; Hamermesh, Daniel S. - 2009

Using time-diary data from four countries we show that the unemployed spend most of the time not working for pay in additional leisure and personal maintenance, not in increased household production. There is no relation between unemployment duration and the split of time between household...

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...

How does household production affect measured income inequality?

Frazis, Harley; Stewart, Jay - 2009

household production. Economic theory predicts that households with less money income will produce more goods at home. Thus … extended income, which includes the value of household production, should be more equally distributed than money income … to the weak correlation between money income and household production income. We also find that extended income is more …

The multitasking of household production

Kalenkoski, Charlene Marie; Foster, Gigi - 2010

The standard household production model does not incorporate multitasking, although time-diary data reveal that individuals regularly multitask. We formulate a model where time spent in child care can be sole-tasked or multitasked with other household production activities. This model implies...
