We combine exogenous variation in temperature at the county-day level in the U.S. with daily time use data to examine … the effect of temperature on joint time use. We show that low temperatures reduce time spent with friends but increase … evidence of the effect of temperature on joint time use being location-dependent. We rationalize this finding using a model in …
