Home Production Technology and Time Allocation: Empirics, Theory, and Implications
نویسندگان
چکیده
We document a set of time use patterns in both time series and cross sections. To explain these facts, we propose and estimate a model of time allocation that emphasizes the role of home production technology. We find it necessary to consider both labor-augmenting technology and total factor productivity in home production. Based on the estimated model, we study the effects of proportional tax and lump-sum transfer on time allocation and labor supply, with the roles of home production technology and wage heterogeneity highlighted. JEL classification: J22, J24

Home production and sticky price models: Implications for monetary policy
I analyze the consequences of including home production in a New Keynesian model with staggered price setting. Home production amplifies responses to technology and monetary policy shocks. Compared to a model without home production, the model generates close to twice the output response to a monetary policy shock. I consider the implications of several nominal interest rate rules and show that...
متن کاملBudgetary Constraints and Idle Time Allocation in Common-Cycle Production with non-zero Setup Time
Economic lot size scheduling problem (ELSP) for a multi-product single machine system is a classical problem. This paper considers ELSP with budgetary constraint as an important aspect of such systems. In the real world situations the available funds for investment in inventory is limited. By adopting the common cycle time approach to ELSP, we obtain the optimal common cycle which minimizes the...
متن کاملUsing Markov Chain to Analyze Production Lines Systems with Layout Constraints
There are some problems with estimating the time required for the manufacturing process of products, especially when there is a variable serving time, like control stage. These problems will cause overestimation of process time. Layout constraints, reworking constraints and inflexible product schedule in multi product lines need a precise planning to reduce volume in particular situation of lin...
متن کاملA multi-period fuzzy mathematical programming model for crude oil supply chain network design considering budget and equipment limitations
The major oil industry upstream activities include the exploration, drilling, extraction, pipelines installation, and production of crude oil. In this paper, we develop a mathematical model to plan for theseoperations as a crude oil supply chain network design problem.The proposed multi-period mixed integer linear programming model entails both strategic (e.g., facility location and allocation)...
متن کاملDeveloping a cross-docking network design model under uncertain environment
Cross-docking is a logistic concept, which plays an important role in supply chain management by decreasing inventory holding, order packing, transportation costs and delivery time. Paying attention to these concerns, and importance of the congestion in cross docks, we present a mixed-integer model to optimize the location and design of cross docks at the same time to minimize the total transpo...
