“…The underlying notion of the empirical analysis below is basically in line with an extension of Chiappori (1992), Apps and Rees (1997), which utilizes the crucial insight that time not spent in market labor supply is used for both household production as well as for pure leisure. The idea of this distinction came up first by Mincer (1962), at least for the case of women, and later by Becker (1965) and Gronau (1977).…”

“…One of the most serious deficiencies of this model concerns the treatment of domestic production: housework is ignored so that non-market time coincides with pure leisure. Apps and Rees (1997) rightly point out that, in that case, a low level of market labor supply is automatically interpreted as greater consumption of leisure, whereas it may in fact reflect the specialization of one of the members in home production.…”

Labor supply, home production, and welfare comparisons

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 utility functions that are retrieved from observed behavior will be unbiased if and only if the profit function is additive. Otherwise, in the non-additive case, the direction and the size of the bias will depend on the complementaritysubstitutability of spouses' time inputs in the production process. We then show that, even if domestic labor supply functions are not observed, valid welfare comparisons are possible. This identification result generalizes that in Chiappori (1992).

“…If we would observe that she receives more goods than we would predict, then we could attribute the observation to her having a high taste for goods relative to leisure. 2 If, on the other hand, we observed that she also receives less goods then it looks as though she lacks 'power'within the household and that the distribution of material well-being within the household is skewed towards the husband. Clearly, we need to observe both sets of outcomes (the allocation of time and money) to calculate the intra-household distribution of material well-being and its determinants.…”

Spending Time and Money within the Household*

We consider theoretically and empirically the allocation of time and money within the household. The novelty of our empirical work is that we have a survey which provides information on both time use and the allocation of some goods within the household, for the same households. Thus we can consider whether a partner who enjoys more leisure also receives more consumption, which looks like the outcome of 'power'within the household, or receives less consumption, which looks like di¤ering tastes across households.
