Household Specialization and the Labor-Supply Elasticities of Women and Men

Bredemeier, Christian - Staatswissenschaftliches Seminar, Wirtschafts- und … - 2015

This paper studies gender differences in the elasticity of labor supply in a model of household specialization. I show that household specialization implies larger Frisch elasticities for the partner that specializes in home production. Quantitatively, empirical time-use ratios alone imply...

The Impacts of Firms' Technology Choice on the Gender Differences in Wage and Time Allocation: A Cross-Country Analysis

Shirai, Daichi; Nagamachi, Kohei; Eguchi, Naotaka - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2012

This paper investigates the impacts of firm technology choice on cross-country variations in gender gaps---particularly those variations in the wages and time devoted to home production. For this purpose, we construct a general equilibrium model that includes firm technology choice and home...

Johnsson, Richard - Ratioinstitutet - 2004

In this paper it is argued that the domestic division of labor and trade is organized according to the same principle as the international division of labor and trade – the Ricardian comparative advantages. After all, the ultimate source of these comparative advantages is the individual. The...

Fiscal Policy, Home Production and Growth Dynamics

Hu, Yunfang; Mino, Kazuo - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2004

Using an endogenous growth model with physical and human capital, we explore short-run as well as long-run effects of fiscal policy in the presence of households' production activities. We first show that our model has a unique balanced-growth path that satisfies saddlepoint stability. We then...

Analysis of Fiscal Shocks in a Small Open Economy with Home Production

Hu, Yunfang; Mino, Kazuo - Institut for Miljø og Erhvervsøkonomi, Syddansk … - 2010

In view of the large scale of the nonmarket home sector in both developed and developing economies, in this paper we construct an open economy model with home production. We discuss both long-run and short-run impacts of fiscal policies such as income tax, consumption tax and government spending...

Revisiting the Role of Home Production in Life-Cycle Labor Supply

Faberman, R. Jason - Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago - 2015

This paper examines the role of home production in estimating life-cycle labor supply. I show that, consistent with previous studies, ignoring an individual’s time spent on home production when estimating the Frisch elasticity of labor supply biases its estimate downwards. I also show,...

Optimal Taxation of Married Couples with Household Production

Kleven, Henrik Jacobsen; Kreiner, Claus Thustrup - In: FinanzArchiv: Public Finance Analysis 63 (2007) 4, pp. 498-518

The literature suggests that the concern for economic efficiency calls for individual-based taxation of married couples with a higher rate on the primary earner. This paper reconsiders the choice of tax unit in the Becker model of household production. In the absence of restrictions on the use...

Albanesi, Stefania; Olivetti, Claudia - Society for Economic Dynamics - SED - 2006

Why do Europeans Work so Little?

Olovsson, Conny - Society for Economic Dynamics - SED - 2004

Market work per person is roughly 10 percent higher in the U.S. than in Sweden. However, if we include the work carried out in home production, the total amount of work differs by only 1%. I set up a model with home production and show that differences in policy - mainly taxes - can account for...
