“…The importance of estimating jointly the four processes is confirmed also by a formal test aimed at capturing the separability between the unobservable determinants of giving decisions and the set of other time uses (domestic and market work). Table 2 reports the whole set of cross-equations covariances estimates, separately for men and women 22 . First, we notice that time and money donations appear strongly and positively correlated: an upward shift in the supply of volunteering causes is on average associated with an increase in money donations.…”

“…Many studies in the literature only focus on one time use at a time, but there are notable exceptions starting from the pioneering work of Kooreman and Kapteyn (1987) that allow for greater disaggregation of domestic work into many non-market activities (see also Connelly and Kimmel 2009;Bloemen and Stancanelli 2008). McElroy and Horney (1981) and Manser and Brown (1980) added to this line of research by explicitly modeling bargaining processes between spouses.…”

An empirical analysis of the time allocation of Italian couples: are they responsive?

The literature suggests that in Italy husbands contribute less to unpaid household work than in any other European country, while women have the lowest market employment rates. Here we examine the time allocation of Italian couples on which there are surprisingly few studies to date. We analyze simultaneously the time allocated by husband and wife to market work, childcare and housework, allowing for various interactions. We use data drawn from the Italian national Time Use Survey 2002-2003 for the analysis. We find that spousal time allocation is sensitive to personal and household characteristics, such as, in particular, education and children's age. Evidence shows that men married to more highly educated women spend more time with their children. The husband's own characteristics have less of an effect on women's time allocation. We also find that patterns differ substantially between weekends and weekdays. The estimated correlations between the unobservable factors affecting the couple's time allocation suggest that the time devoted by parents to childcare is complementary and that the time they devote to housework is substitutable across weekends and other weekdays.

“…Unlike previous economic studies, such as Kooreman & Kapteyn (1987) and Hallberg & 1 Klevmarken (2003), which have analyzed alternative child care activities but only among twoparent families, we examine differences among married, cohabiting, and single-parent families.…”

United Kingdom Time Use Study to estimate the effect of family structure on the time mothers and fathers spend on primary and passive child care and on market work, using a system of correlated Tobit equations and family structure equations. Estimates from these models indicate that single parents in both countries spend more time in child care than married or cohabiting parents. There are differences, however, in market work with single parents in the U.S. working more than other parents and single parents in the U.K. working less.JEL Classification: J1, J2
