“…14 The double hurdle specification allows for the possibility of different factors affecting the two decisions as well as the same explanatory variables having different impacts on each of the two hurdles. This class of models has been applied extensively to analysis of the consumption of goods (for an overview, see Wodajo 2007: 16) and is well accepted in labour supply estimation (Carlin and Flood 1997;.…”

This paper focuses on job characteristics, such as wages, job quality, and distance from the current place of residence, and the impact of these characteristics on the willingness of employed and unemployed individuals to accept new job offers. Using an experimental factorial survey module (FSM) implemented in the fifth wave of a large population survey (Panel Study Labour Market and Social Security), the willingness of employed and unemployed labour market participants to accept new job offers was compared while considering job characteristics like gain of income or commuting distance. In this study, unemployed and employed individuals received the same set of hypothetical job offers. Consistent with theoretical arguments, the about 20,000 evaluations provided by about 4,000 respondents showed that unemployed participants generally exhibit a greater willingness to accept new job offers than employed ones. Moreover, unemployed individuals were likely to make more concessions than employed individuals with respect to job quality, such as accepting fixed-term job offers. Interestingly, little evidence for different decisionmaking or weightings of mobility costs was found, which enables us to conclude that interregional unemployment disparities can scarcely be explained by unemployed individuals lacking the willingness to work or relocate.

“…9 This model is particularly suited for the analysis of time use data, where zeros may originate from different sources: for instance, occurrence of an atypical event in a diary date or from a different process determining the decision to participate in a certain activity. It is recognized in the literature (see, for example, Carlin and Flood 1997;Daunfeldt and Hellström 2007, and the references therein) that the method of time diary data collection results in too many individuals reporting zero minutes of time spent on certain activities, especially if they are performed occasionally (such as religious activities in our case). On the other hand, there may be a different stochastic behavioral process determining the participation decision in a certain activity.…”

“…In contrast, Jones (1992) advocates the use of the exclusion restrictions in the dependent double-hurdle model. While it is very difficult to find credible instrumental variables for all three uses of time, we have experimented with both specifications, using diary days and season dummies as exclusion restrictions, following Carlin and Flood (1997). Since the results from the models with exclusion restrictions were qualitatively identical and quantitatively similar to the one without exclusion restrictions and since there are still some doubts on the validity of the instruments, we decided to report the latter.…”

Children, Kitchen, Church: does ethnicity matter?

Ethnic differences in the allocation of non-market time are important, as they may shed more light on the integration level of ethnic minorities and on the factors that affect both household productivity and ethnic identity. In this paper we examine the role of ethnicity and gender by analyzing differences in the time spent on a range of activities employing the 2000 UK Time Use Survey. Based on the economics of religion and identity economic models, we hypothesize that if ethnic minority women have lower opportunity costs of time and a strong 'ethnic' or 'traditionally female' identity, they will engage more in 'traditional' home activities. Double-hurdle regression results indicate that while the effect for childcare is not significant when estimated for parents only, non-white women spend significantly more time on food management and particularly religious activities than white women, with the greatest effect of the latter being for Pakistani and Bangladeshi women.

“…Specifically, his study shows that the time-use data collection method strongly influences the estimates of wage rate effects on labour supply, especially when weekend work is taken into account. Likewise, Carlin and Flood's (1997) comparison of time-diary versus survey data on how children affect the labour supply of Swedish men reveals that conventional survey data conceal any effect of the number and age of children on these males' labour supply, whereas the time-diary data show that children strongly influence male labour supply and significantly reduce the work hours by 2.6-3.4 h per week. 3…”
