Household Time Allocation and Models of Behavior: A Theory of Sorts
نویسندگان
چکیده
We make the point that a flexible specification of spousal preferences and household production technology precludes the possibility of using revealed preference data on household time allocations to determine the manner in which spouses interact. Under strong, but standard, assumptions regarding marriage market equilibria, marital sorting patterns can be used essentially as “out of sample” information that allows us to assess whether household behavior is cooperative. We use a sample of households drawn from a recent wave of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, and find some evidence supporting the view that households behave in a cooperative manner.

Household Time Allocation and Modes of Behavior: A Theory of Sorts
Household Time Allocation and Modes of Behavior: A Theory of Sorts * We develop a simple model of household time allocation decisions under strong functional form assumptions regarding preferences and household production technology. We argue that the specification is general when allowing for unrestrictive forms of population heterogeneity in the parameters characterizing these functions. More...
متن کاملPresenting a three-objective model in location-allocation problems using combinational interval full-ranking and maximal covering with backup model
Covering models have found many applications in a wide variety of real-world problems; nevertheless, some assumptions of covering models are not realistic enough. Accordingly, a general approach would not be able to answer the needs of encountering varied aspects of real-world considerations. Assumptions like the unavailability of servers, uncertainty, and evaluating more factors at the same ti...
متن کاملModeling Household Time Allocation Behavior: Comparative Analysis Using a Large-scale Data from Survey on Time Use and Leisure Activities in Japan
Members in a household interact with each other when allocating their limited time resources to various activities, reflecting role specification and power structure within the household. For each member, some of activities are competitive in time allocation. In addition, each member might show different interest in or attach different importance to different activities. To reflect such complic...
متن کاملObtaining a possible allocation in the bankruptcy model using the Shapley value
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is an effective tool for supporting decision-makers to assess bankruptcy, uncertainty concepts including intervals, and game theory. The bankruptcy problem with the qualitative parameters is an economic problem under uncertainty. Accordingly, we combine the concepts of the DEA game theory and uncertain models as interval linear programming (ILP), which can be app...
متن کاملHousehold production theory and models
The chapter focuses on household production theory and models for non-agricultural households, largely in developed countries. The objectives of the paper are: (1) to present several types of microeconomic models of household decision making and highlight their implications for empirical food demand studies and (2) to presents an empirical application of insights gained from household productio...
