Faberman, R. Jason - 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, however,...
