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...

Taxation and Domestic Free Trade
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, EMPLOYMENT AND GROWTH: WHY IS CONTINENTAL EUROPE LAGGING BEHIND?
DHONT, T.; HEYLEN, F. - Faculteit Economie en Bedrijfskunde, Universiteit Gent - 2004
In this paper we analyse the impact of distortionary taxes, transfers related to structural nonemployment and productive government expenditures on employment and long-run growth. Our theoretical model builds on Barro (JPE, 1990) which we extend by endogenizing the decision to work and by...

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,...

Household Labor Supply and Home Services in a General-Equilibrium Model with Heterogeneous Agents
Bredemeier, Christian; Juessen, Falko - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2009
We propose a new explanation for differences and changes in labor supply by gender and marital status, and in particular for the increase in married women's labor supply over time. We argue that this increase as well as the relative constancy of other groups' hours are optimal reactions to...
